The **ATS-07E-32-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or high-power transistors. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary technical parameters for this specific part number: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions Inc. (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Attachment Type** | Push-Pin (Plastic/Brass) | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Thermal Resistance (Flowing Air)** | 1.17°C/W @ 100 LFM | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 54.00mm x 54.00mm x 15.00mm | | **Fin Configuration** | Fine Pitch (Cross-Cut) | --- ### 2. Breakdown of the Part Number The part number follows a specific nomenclature used by ATS to identify the physical and thermal properties of the unit: * **ATS**: Manufacturer (Advanced Thermal Solutions). * **07**: Specific series/designator for the product family. * **E**: Attachment type (Push-Pin variant). * **32**: Physical size/geometry code. * **C2**: Material and Thermal Interface Material (TIM). "C2" typically indicates the use of **T766** thermal phase change material. * **R0**: RoHS compliance and revision status. --- ### 3. Key Electronic Functions While the heat sink itself does not consume electricity, it is critical for the "Electronic Health" of a circuit: 1. **Thermal Dissipation**: It increases the surface area of the heat-generating component, allowing air to carry away heat more efficiently via convection. 2. **Protection**: By keeping the junction temperature ($T_j$) of a semiconductor below its maximum rating, it prevents thermal runaway and hardware failure. 3. **Mechanical Stability**: The **pushPIN™** system ensures a consistent and specific pressure (preload) is applied to the chip, which optimizes the contact between the heat sink and the component. --- ### 4. Mounting Mechanism The **pushPIN™** system used in this model includes: * A flexible spring-loaded pin. * Pre-drilled holes in the PCB are required for installation. * This design ensures that the thermal interface material is compressed evenly, maximizing heat transfer efficiency without damaging the delicate silicon die.
