The **ATS-08A-01-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically an **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) push-pin heatsink**. It is designed for cooling electronic components such as CPUs, GPUs, or high-power ASICs. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table highlights the core physical and thermal properties of this specific part number: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Dimensions** | 40mm x 40mm x 6mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Spring Type** | Brass | | **Thermal Interface (TIM)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Design Characteristics This part belongs to the **push-pin heatsink** family, which is popular for its reliability and ease of installation in high-vibration environments. * **Low Profile:** At only 6mm in height, it is ideal for compact electronic enclosures where vertical space is limited. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** The "C2" suffix indicates that the heatsink comes with **T766 thermal grease** pre-applied. This eliminates the need for manual application and ensures consistent thermal conductivity between the component and the sink. * **Blue Anodization:** This is not just aesthetic; the anodized finish increases the surface emissivity, slightly improving radiative heat transfer and protecting the aluminum from corrosion. --- ### 3. Electronic Application The ATS-08A-01-C2-R0 is typically used in the following electronic contexts: 1. **High-Speed Computing:** Cooling of chipsets or small processors on PCBs. 2. **Network Hardware:** Used on routers or switches where airflow is directed across the straight fins. 3. **Industrial Controls:** Cooling power MOSFETs or ICs that generate localized heat. --- ### 4. Part Number Breakdown The part number can be deciphered as follows: * **ATS:** Brand (Advanced Thermal Solutions). * **08A:** Series identifier (Specific fin geometry/size). * **01:** Dimension variant. * **C2:** Thermal Interface Material (T766 Grease). * **R0:** RoHS Compliance/Revision status. ---
