The **ATS-08F-84-C1-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heatsink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic integrated circuits (ICs) like CPUs, GPUs, or FPGAs. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary physical and thermal characteristics of the part: | Characteristic | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Dimensions** | 30mm x 30mm x 25mm | | **Fin Style** | XC-CUT (Cross-Cut) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 6.96°C/W @ 200 LFM | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Spring Type** | Compression Spring | | **Interface Material** | T766 (Pre-applied Thermal Interface Material) | --- ## 2. Key Component Features ### A. Fin Design (XC-CUT) Unlike straight-fin heatsinks, the **XC-CUT** design features vertical and horizontal cuts. This creates a "pin-fin" effect which: * Allows for multi-directional airflow. * Increases the surface area for heat exchange. * Reduces the overall weight of the component. ### B. Attachment Mechanism: Push-Pin & Spring The "R0" suffix indicates a specific mounting configuration. It uses a **plastic push-pin** and a **compression spring**: 1. **Uniform Pressure:** The spring ensures that the heatsink maintains consistent contact pressure against the chip. 2. **Reliability:** This method is more secure than thermal adhesive tapes, making it ideal for high-vibration environments. 3. **Hole Pattern:** Requires specific pre-drilled holes in the PCB for installation. ### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The part comes with **T766** pre-applied to the base. This is a phase-change material or high-conductivity grease that fills the microscopic air gaps between the heatsink base and the electronic chip, significantly lowering thermal resistance. --- ## 3. Application Use Cases The ATS-08F-84-C1-R0 is typically used in the following electronic sectors: * **Telecommunications:** Cooling high-speed networking processors. * **Embedded Systems:** Protecting industrial microcontrollers. * **Power Supplies:** Dissipating heat from MOSFETs or voltage regulators.
