The **ATS-07F-86-C3-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is part of the "pushPIN™" series, designed for efficient cooling of semiconductor devices like CPUs, GPUs, or high-power transistors. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications | Feature | Details | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions Inc. (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Spring-loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 3.10°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 35.00mm x 35.00mm x 15.00mm | | **Fin Type** | XCUT (Cross-cut / Pin Fin) | --- ### 2. Design and Construction The "XCUT" fin design used in this part is engineered for versatility in airflow direction: * **Heat Sink Base:** 35mm square base provides a large contact area for the electronic component. * **Fin Geometry:** The cross-cut (XCUT) pattern allows air to flow through the fins from any direction, making it ideal for systems where the airflow path is non-linear or obstructed. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This specific model typically comes pre-applied with **T412**, a high-performance thermal tape/pad, ensuring immediate installation and reliable heat transfer. --- ### 3. Mounting Mechanism (pushPIN™) The **R0** suffix indicates the mounting hardware. This system replaces traditional adhesive-only methods with a mechanical lock: 1. **Spring-Loaded Pins:** Provides consistent pressure (clamping force) across the component to maximize thermal conductivity. 2. **Ease of Assembly:** Features 2nd generation push-pins that click into pre-drilled holes on the PCB (Printed Circuit Board). 3. **Vibration Resistance:** The mechanical attachment is far more stable than adhesive tape in environments prone to movement or shock. --- ### 4. Thermal Performance Comparison Thermal resistance varies based on the airflow (velocity) provided by the system fans: | Air Velocity (LFM) | 100 | 200 | 400 | 600 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Resistance (°C/W)** | 3.10 | 1.83 | 1.30 | 1.07 | --- ### Summary of Component Codes * **ATS:** Manufacturer (Advanced Thermal Solutions) * **07:** Series number * **F:** Fin pitch/style * **86:** Specific dimensions/model reference * **C3:** Material/Color code (Aluminum, Blue Anodized) * **R0:** Revision/Packaging type
