The **ATS-07G-10-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically an **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) Push-Pin Heat Sink**. It is designed to cool electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or power modules. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table summarizes the key physical and thermal characteristics of this part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions Inc. (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Heat Sink Type** | Top Mount (Cross-Cut) | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Spring-loaded) | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized Finish) | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 45mm x 45mm | | **Height** | 25mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 7.89°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Design and Component Breakdown #### A. Fin Geometry (Cross-Cut) The "G" in the part number indicates a **Cross-Cut** fin design. Unlike straight-fin heat sinks, cross-cut fins allow for multi-directional airflow. This makes it highly efficient in "crowded" PCB environments where the direction of the air coming from system fans might be turbulent or non-linear. #### B. Push-Pin Attachment Mechanism Instead of using messy adhesives or thermal tape, this part uses a mechanical **Push-Pin** system: * **Component:** Plastic or brass pins with internal springs. * **Benefit:** Provides consistent downward pressure on the electronic chip, ensuring the best possible contact between the heat sink and the heat source. * **Installation:** Requires pre-drilled holes in the PCB. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The **C2** designation indicates that the unit comes with **T766** thermal material pre-applied to the base. * **Function:** Fills microscopic air gaps between the chip surface and the aluminum base. * **Benefit:** Reduces thermal impedance and simplifies the assembly process on the production line. --- ### 3. Part Number Breakdown (Deciphering the Code) | Segment | Meaning | | :--- | :--- | | **ATS** | Manufacturer (Advanced Thermal Solutions) | | **07** | Series Number | | **G** | Fin Style (Cross-cut) | | **10** | Specific Dimensions/Model code | | **C2** | Thermal Interface Material (T766) | | **R0** | Revision / Standard Packaging | --- ### 4. Application Use Cases This part is typically found in: * **Telecommunications:** Cooling high-speed processors in switches and routers. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs where mechanical stability (vibration resistance) is required. * **Power Supplies:** Cooling MOSFETs or voltage regulators.
