The **ATS-08F-21-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component. Specifically, it is an **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)** push-pin heat sink designed for cooling integrated circuits (ICs) and other electronic components on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below is a breakdown of the physical and thermal properties of the component: | Feature | Specification | |:---|:---| | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. | | **Heat Sink Type** | Push-Pin (Spring-loaded) | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions** | 60mm x 60mm x 10mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 16.28°C/W (Natural Convection) | | **Attachment Method** | Plastic Push-Pin with Brass Spring | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | --- ### 2. Design and Components The part is engineered to provide efficient heat dissipation through several key electronic hardware features: * **Push-Pin Attachment:** The "08F" series utilizes a push-pin mechanism. This allows for easy assembly and provides a consistent "clamping force" onto the electronic chip, ensuring the thermal interface material (TIM) makes perfect contact. * **Low Profile:** At only 10mm high, it is designed for space-constrained electronics (like servers or thin networking hardware) where vertical clearance is limited. * **Blue Anodization:** The surface treatment is not just for aesthetics; it increases the emissivity of the aluminum, slightly improving radiation heat transfer and protecting the metal from environmental corrosion. * **Material (Al6063):** Chosen for its high thermal conductivity, allowing heat to move rapidly from the chip's surface to the fins. --- ### 3. Thermal Performance (Airflow Data) The efficiency of this part depends heavily on the velocity of the air passing through the fins (measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM). | Air Velocity (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | |:---|:---| | 200 (1.0 m/s) | 7.14 | | 400 (2.0 m/s) | 3.22 | | 600 (3.0 m/s) | 2.01 | | 800 (4.0 m/s) | 1.55 | --- ### 4.
