The **ATS-07G-97-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the "push pin" series designed for cooling electronic components such as CPUs, GPUs, and other high-heat-generating surface-mount devices. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number encodes specific physical and material characteristics required for thermal management calculations. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Type** | Push Pin (Plastic/Brass) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 20.30 °C/W (Unducted Flow @ 200 LFM) | | **Dimensions** | 45mm x 45mm x 10mm | | **Fin Type** | XC-CUT (Cross-Cut) | | **Thermal Interface (TIM)** | T766 (High Performance) | --- ### 2. Physical Design Features The construction of this specific part focuses on maximizing surface area while minimizing airflow obstruction. * **XC-CUT Fin Design:** The "XC" indicates a cross-cut pattern. This creates a grid of small pins rather than continuous long fins. This design is highly effective for "omni-directional" airflow, meaning it cools effectively regardless of which direction the fan is blowing. * **Low Profile:** With a height of only **10mm**, this part is designed for space-constrained enclosures like 1U rack servers, blade servers, or compact embedded systems. * **Push Pin Mounting:** The mounting system uses a spring-loaded push pin mechanism. This ensures a consistent "clamping force" against the chip, which prevents the heat sink from tilting and optimizes the effectiveness of the thermal paste. --- ### 3. Thermal Performance Metrics Thermal resistance ($\theta$) measures how effectively the part moves heat away from the electronics. Lower numbers indicate better cooling performance. | Air Velocity (LFM) | Velocity (m/s) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 200 | 1.0 | 20.30 | | 400 | 2.0 | 7.72 | | 600 | 3.0 | 5.91 | | 800 | 4.0 | 5.14 | --- ### 4. Integration Considerations * **Hole Pattern:** The PCB must have pre-drilled holes matching the ATS push-pin spacing for this specific model. * **Pre-Applied TIM:** This unit comes with **T766** thermal interface material pre-applied to the base, which simplifies the assembly process on the production line. * **Weight:** Being aluminum, it is lightweight, reducing the mechanical stress on the PCB during vibration or shipping.
