The **ATS-08F-145-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (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 The following table outlines the physical and thermal properties of the component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic or Brass) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 30.00mm x 30.00mm x 30.00mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | | **Thermal Resistance** | 2.90°C/W (at 100 LFM) | --- ### 2. Key Component Features #### A. Thermal Performance The "C2" in the part number indicates a specific thermal profile. This heat sink is designed for **forced air cooling** environments. As airflow (LFM - Linear Feet per Minute) increases, the thermal resistance decreases significantly, allowing for higher power dissipation. #### B. pushPIN™ Attachment System Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, this model uses a mechanical push-pin system. - **Spring Mechanism:** Provides precise pressure (Pre-assembled) to ensure optimal thermal interface contact. - **Reliability:** Prevents the heat sink from shifting during vibration or shipping. #### C. Material and Coating - **Aluminum (AL6063):** Offers a high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent thermal conductivity. - **Blue Anodized Finish:** This is not just for aesthetics; the anodization protects the aluminum from corrosion and slightly improves radiant heat emissivity. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This specific form factor (30x30x30mm) is commonly used in: * **Networking Equipment:** Small routers, switches, and SFP modules. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs and single-board computers (SBCs). * **Power Electronics:** Voltage regulators and motor drivers that generate concentrated heat. --- ### 4. Part Number Breakdown The nomenclature **ATS-08F-145-C2-R0** can be decoded as follows: * **ATS:** Manufacturer (Advanced Thermal Solutions). * **08:** Number of fins/specific series. * **F:** Fin Pitch (Fine). * **145:** Designates the specific height and dimensions. * **C2:** Thermal performance/Attachment kit type. * **R0:** RoHS compliant (Standard environmental certification).
