The **ATS-07F-117-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic component specifically designed for thermal management. It is a **heat sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) as part of their "push-pin" attachment series. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below is a breakdown of the physical and thermal properties of this specific model: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions** | 45mm x 45mm x 10mm | | **Attachment Type** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 10.48°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T766 (High Performance) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Features #### A. Thermal Management Strategy This part is designed to dissipate heat from surface-mount devices (SMDs) such as: * **CPUs/GPUs:** Low-profile processors. * **FPGAs:** Field Programmable Gate Arrays. * **ASICs:** Application Specific Integrated Circuits. #### B. The Push-Pin Mechanism The "07F" in the part number denotes the specific attachment mechanism. It uses a **plastic push-pin with a spring**. * **Constant Pressure:** The spring ensures consistent contact pressure between the heat sink and the electronic component, which is vital for efficient heat transfer. * **Vibration Resistance:** The spring-loaded nature makes it suitable for environments with minor mechanical vibrations. #### C. Airflow Optimization The straight-fin design is optimized for **forced air cooling**. While it can work in natural convection, it performs best when a fan is blowing air across the 45mm width of the fins. --- ### 3. Application Use-Cases * **Networking Hardware:** Routers, switches, and modems. * **Industrial PCs:** Compact computing modules where vertical clearance (10mm height) is limited. * **Power Supplies:** Cooling voltage regulators or power transistors. --- ### 4.
