The **ATS-08D-85-C3-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)*. It belongs to the **pushPIN™** series, designed for efficient heat dissipation on Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary physical and thermal characteristics of the part: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 30.00mm x 30.00mm x 30.00mm | | **Fin Type** | Fine Pitch (Square Pattern) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 22.98 °C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T412 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Design Components This part is more than just a block of metal; it is a system of electronic cooling components: * **The Heat Sink Body:** A 30mm cube with a "Fine Pitch" design. This increases the surface area significantly, allowing air to pass through and carry heat away from the processor or power component. * **The pushPIN™ Mechanism:** This replaces traditional adhesive or screw mounting. It uses a flexible attachment system that provides consistent pressure for better thermal contact. * **The Compression Spring:** A stainless steel spring (part of the assembly) ensures that the heat sink maintains high contact pressure with the electronic chip even under vibration or thermal expansion. * **T412 Thermal Interface Material:** This is a "Phase Change Material" pre-applied to the base. It fills the microscopic air gaps between the chip and the heat sink to maximize heat transfer efficiency. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This specific part is typically found in: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling high-speed signal processors. 2. **Embedded Systems:** For industrial computers where space is constrained but vertical clearance is available. 3. **Power Electronics:** Managing heat for Voltage Regulator Modules (VRMs). --- ### 4. Thermal Performance Comparison The performance varies based on the Air Flow (measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM): | Air Flow (LFM) | Velocity (m/s) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 100 | 0.5 | 22.98 | | 200 | 1.0 | 10.22 | | 400 | 2.0 | 5.33 | | 600 | 3.0 | 4.05 |
