The **ATS-07F-03-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions Inc.* It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or power transistors to prevent thermal throttling or hardware failure. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of this specific part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions Inc. (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Spring-loaded) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 40mm x 40mm x 15mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 26.22°C/W (Unducted) | | **Fin Style** | XCUT (Cross-cut) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Components & Design The "Electronic parts" of this assembly refers to the structural design used to interact with a Printed Circuit Board (PCB): #### A. The Heat Sink Body (XCUT Design) The aluminum body uses a **cross-cut (XCUT)** pattern. In electronics, this is critical because it allows for "omni-directional" airflow. This means the cooling efficiency remains high regardless of which direction the fan is blowing across the PCB. #### B. The Push-Pin Fastener Unlike adhesive tapes, this part uses a mechanical **push-pin and brass spring** system. * **Purpose:** It ensures a constant, high-pressure contact between the heat sink and the electronic chip. * **Reliability:** It prevents the heat sink from shifting due to mechanical shock or vibration, which is vital for industrial or automotive electronics. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "R0" suffix typically indicates that the part comes with a pre-applied **Thermal Interface Material**. This is the chemical layer (usually a phase-change material or grease) that fills microscopic air gaps between the chip surface and the aluminum, ensuring efficient heat transfer. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This part is commonly found in the following electronic systems: * **Networking Gear:** Routers and switches where high-speed processors generate significant heat. * **Power Supplies:** Cooling MOSFETs or voltage regulators. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs where space is limited but cooling is critical.
