The **ATS-08G-152-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the "push pin" series designed to provide efficient cooling for electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and other integrated circuits. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary mechanical and thermal properties of this specific part: | Property | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Thermal Resistance** | 3.32°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 35.00mm x 35.00mm x 25.00mm | | **Attachment Type** | Push Pin (Brass) | | **Thermal Interface Material** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Key Components & Design Features #### A. Fin Design (Cross-Cut) The "G" in the part number indicates a **cross-cut** fin pattern. This design allows for multidirectional airflow, making it ideal for systems where the airflow direction might be inconsistent or obstructed. It maximizes surface area while maintaining a low profile. #### B. Push Pin Attachment Instead of using adhesive tapes or clips, this model uses a **brass push pin** mechanism. * **Benefits:** Provides constant pressure for better thermal contact. * **Installation:** Requires pre-drilled holes in the PCB. * **Springs:** Usually paired with stainless steel springs to ensure durability under vibration. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The unit comes pre-applied with **T766**. This is a high-performance phase-change material or grease that fills microscopic air gaps between the heat sink base and the component, significantly reducing thermal resistance. #### D. Blue Anodized Finish The blue coating is not just for aesthetics; anodizing increases the surface emissivity, which slightly improves heat radiation and protects the aluminum from corrosion and wear. --- ### 3.
