The **ATS-08D-127-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic component specifically designed for thermal management. It is a **heat sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) as part of their "push-pin" attachment series. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table summarizes the key physical and thermal properties of this component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Spring Type** | Compression Spring | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 54.00mm x 54.00mm x 20.00mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 3.84°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Components & Design This part is not an "active" electronic device (like an IC), but a "passive" thermal component essential for the stability of high-power electronics. #### A. Fin Profile (Straight Fin) The heat sink utilizes a straight-fin design. This is optimized for **forced air cooling** environments where air is pushed through the fins by a system fan. The spacing is engineered to minimize pressure drop while maximizing surface area for heat dissipation. #### B. Push-Pin Mounting System Instead of using adhesive tapes or soldering, this model uses a mechanical push-pin system: * **Pins:** Two plastic pins that snap into pre-drilled holes on the PCB. * **Springs:** Provides a consistent "clamping force" to ensure the base of the heat sink maintains firm contact with the processor or component, improving heat transfer. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The unit comes with **T766** pre-applied to the base. This is a phase-change or grease-like material that fills microscopic air gaps between the electronic component (CPU, GPU, or MOSFET) and the aluminum base of the heat sink. --- ### 3. Common Applications This specific size and thermal rating are typically used for: * **Processors (CPUs/GPUs):** Small to medium-sized embedded processors. * **ASICs & FPGAs:** High-speed integrated circuits in networking gear. * **Power Supplies:** Cooling large transistors or voltage regulators. ---
