The **ATS-07G-161-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink**, manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). ### 1. Technical Specifications The part belongs to the "push-pin" series designed for secure mounting on Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). | Specification | Detail | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions Inc. (ATS) | | **Part Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45.00mm x 45.00mm x 20.00mm | | **Material** | Aluminum (Al) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Mounting Type** | Push-Pin (Plastic or Brass) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 4.74°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Weight** | ~45-50 grams | --- ### 2. Physical Design Features The "G" and "161" designators in the part number refer to the specific fin pattern and size. * **Fin Profile:** It typically uses a **Cross-Cut** or **Straight Fin** geometry. This allows for multi-directional airflow, making it efficient even in systems where the air intake direction isn't strictly controlled. * **Base Plate:** Features a flat, precision-machined base to ensure maximum surface contact with the heat source (e.g., a BGA, CPU, or FPGA). * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This part usually comes pre-applied with **T766** phase-change material or a high-performance thermal pad, reducing the need for manual thermal paste application. --- ### 3. Electronic Application The ATS-07G-161-C2-R0 is primarily used to cool active electronic components that generate significant heat. * **Target Components:** * **FPGAs/ASICs:** Used in telecommunications and data centers. * **Processors:** Low-to-mid TDP CPUs in embedded systems. * **Power Modules:** High-current voltage regulators. * **Mounting Logic:** The push-pin mechanism uses a spring-loaded tensioner. This provides a consistent "attachment force" (measured in PSI), ensuring the heat sink doesn't shift or lose contact during thermal expansion or vibration. --- ### 4. Part Number Breakdown Understanding the nomenclature helps in selecting variations: * **ATS:** Manufacturer (Advanced Thermal Solutions). * **07:** Series/Fin type identifier. * **G:** Geometry/Footprint code. * **161:** Specific size/height configuration. * **C2:** Material/Thermal performance grade (Standard Blue Anodized). * **R0:** Revision or Packaging code.
