The **ATS-08E-13-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. (ATS). It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or power transistors to prevent thermal throttling or hardware failure. ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary physical and thermal characteristics of this specific model: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 50.00mm x 50.00mm x 15.00mm | | **Thermal Resistance (Flowing Air)** | 1.37°C/W @ 200 LFM | | **Fin Type** | Fine Pitch (Rectangular) | | **Thermal Interface Material** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Key Component Breakdown #### A. The pushPIN™ Attachment System Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, the "R0" series uses a mechanical **pushPIN™** system. This consists of: * **Compression Springs:** Provide precise vertical pressure to ensure optimal contact with the semiconductor surface. * **Plastic or Brass Pins:** Secure the heat sink through pre-drilled holes in the Printed Circuit Board (PCB). #### B. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The unit comes with **T766** pre-applied to the base. This is a "Phase Change" or high-conductivity material that fills microscopic air gaps between the component and the heat sink, significantly reducing thermal resistance. #### C. Fin Design and Airflow The "Fine Pitch" geometry is optimized for forced-air cooling (fans). The 15mm height provides a balance between surface area for heat dissipation and low-profile clearance for compact electronic enclosures. --- ### 3.
