The **ATS-07F-42-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 physical and thermal characteristics of this part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Heat Sink Type** | Push-Pin (Push-pin with Springs) | | **Dimensions** | 57.90mm x 36.83mm | | **Height (Off Base)** | 22.86mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 2.49°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Engagement for PCB holes) | --- ### 2. Key Features * **push-pin Attachment:** The "F" in the part number often denotes the specific attachment mechanism. This model uses a spring-loaded push-pin system which provides high pressure for better thermal contact and is resistant to vibration. * **Fin Design:** It typically features a cross-cut or straight fin design (part of the "push-pin" series) to maximize surface area for convective cooling. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** Most "R0" variants come pre-applied with a Phase Change Material (PCM) or thermal tape to ensure low thermal resistance between the component and the sink. * **Blue Anodization:** The surface treatment improves radiation heat transfer and provides corrosion resistance. --- ### 3. Electronic Application This part is used in environments where passive cooling (natural convection) is insufficient and forced air (fans) is present. 1. **Component Protection:** Prevents thermal throttling or permanent damage to integrated circuits by maintaining junction temperatures within safe limits. 2. **PCB Layout:** Requires pre-drilled holes in the PCB. The spacing between these holes is critical for the "07F" footprint. 3. **Use Cases:** * Embedded Computing systems. * Telecommunications equipment. * Power supply modules. --- ### 4.
