The **ATS-08G-101-C3-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the **pushPIN™** series, designed specifically for thermal management in electronic systems such as CPUs, GPUs, and power components. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table highlights the physical and thermal properties of this specific model: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Heat Sink Type** | Fine-Pitch (Straight Fin) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45mm x 45mm x 30mm | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded pins) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 6.70 °C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Key Features * **Straight Fin Design:** This model uses a "Fine-Pitch" fin arrangement, which provides a high surface area to volume ratio, making it ideal for high-speed airflow environments. * **pushPIN™ Attachment:** The assembly uses a specialized hardware kit (pins and springs) that ensures constant pressure across the component surface, maximizing heat transfer. * **Pre-applied TIM:** It comes with **T766 thermal interface material**, which eliminates the need for manual thermal paste application and ensures a consistent bond. * **Blue Anodized Coating:** This finish not only protects against corrosion but also increases the emissivity of the surface, slightly improving heat dissipation. --- ### 3. Thermal Performance Comparison Thermal resistance varies based on the velocity of the air passing through the fins (measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM): | Air Velocity (LFM) | 100 | 300 | 500 | 700 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Resistance (°C/W)** | 6.70 | 2.05 | 1.15 | 0.81 | --- ### 4. Typical Applications * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs and controllers. * **Networking:** Routers, switches, and high-speed data hardware. * **Power Supplies:** MOSFETs and voltage regulators requiring compact cooling. * **Consumer Electronics:** High-end audio/visual processing units.
