The **ATS-07G-202-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the **pushPIN™** heat sink assembly series, designed for cooling electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and other integrated circuits. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number itself contains encoded information regarding its dimensions and material properties. | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Type** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 54.00 mm x 54.00 mm | | **Height** | 12.70 mm | | **Pitch** | XC (Extra Coarse) / Fine Pitch Options | | **Thermal Resistance** | 14.83 °C/W (at 100 LFM) | --- ### 2. Key Features * **pushPIN™ Attachment:** Uses a flexible attachment system that includes a copper or aluminum pin and a spring. This ensures a secure fit and constant pressure on the electronic component. * **Pre-assembled:** It typically comes with a pre-applied **Phase Change Material (PCM)** or Thermal Interface Material (TIM) on the base for better heat transfer. * **Versatility:** The "XC" pattern design is optimized for a wide variety of airflow conditions (both low and high velocity). --- ### 3. Electronic Application This heat sink is used to manage the thermal profile of components that generate significant heat during operation. Excessive heat can lead to **thermal throttling** or permanent damage to semiconductors. #### Common Use Cases: 1. **Microprocessors:** Cooling mid-range CPUs in embedded systems. 2. **FPGAs/ASICs:** Managing heat in custom logic boards used in telecommunications. 3. **Power Electronics:** Dissipating heat from high-speed switching transistors. --- ### 4. Thermal Performance Comparison Thermal resistance varies based on the airflow (Measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM): | Airflow Velocity (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | | 100 (0.5 m/s) | 14.83 | | 300 (1.5 m/s) | 6.13 | | 500 (2.5 m/s) | 4.51 | | 700 (3.5 m/s) | 3.73 | ---
