The **ATS-07E-124-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)*. This part is a passive electronic cooling component designed specifically for electronic packages like BGAs (Ball Grid Arrays). ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary mechanical and thermal specifications for this part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Heat Sink Type** | Push-Pin (Passive) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 50.00mm x 50.00mm x 25.00mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 3.18°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin with Springs | | **Thermal Interface (TIM)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Key Features and Design The "E" in the series designation typically refers to the **push-pin attachment system**, which provides several advantages in electronic assembly: * **Attachment Mechanism:** It uses a brass push-pin with a stainless steel spring. This ensures consistent pressure across the interface between the heat sink and the chip, improving heat transfer. * **Fin Pattern:** The part usually features a cross-cut or straight-fin design (depending on the specific revision) optimized for low-to-medium airflow environments. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** The part comes pre-applied with **T766**, a high-performance thermal phase-change material or grease, which eliminates the need for manual application during assembly. * **Reliability:** The blue anodized coating provides corrosion resistance and increased surface emissivity, aiding in heat radiation. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This specific heat sink is typically used in the following electronic cooling scenarios: 1. **Network Switches/Routers:** Cooling high-speed processors or ASICs. 2. **Embedded Systems:** For industrial PCs where vertical space (25mm height) allows for passive airflow. 3. **Power Electronics:** Dissipating heat from MOSFET arrays or power management ICs. --- ### 4. Thermal Performance Profile The efficiency of the ATS-07E-124-C2-R0 depends heavily on the airflow (Measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM): * **@ 100 LFM:** ~3.18 °C/W * **@ 200 LFM:** ~1.85 °C/W * **@ 400 LFM:** ~1.30 °C/W *Note: Lower °C/W values indicate better cooling performance as the airflow increases.*
