The **ATS-08G-16-C2-R0** is a specific electronic cooling component manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It belongs to the **pushPIN™** Heat Sink series. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications This component is an aluminum heat sink designed for high-performance cooling of integrated circuits (ICs) and other electronic components. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Plastic/Brass Pins) | | **Fin Type** | Square (Grid) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 18.08 °C/W (Unducted @ 100 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 54.00mm x 54.00mm x 10.00mm | | **Flow Pattern** | Vertical/Horizontal (Omnidirectional) | --- ### 2. Breakdown of the Model Number The nomenclature for ATS parts follows a structured logic: - **ATS**: Manufacturer (Advanced Thermal Solutions). - **08**: Series/Configuration number. - **G**: Length/Width dimension indicator (54mm x 54mm). - **16**: Height (10.00mm). - **C2**: Material and Finish (Aluminum / Blue Anodized). - **R0**: Packaging code (standard retail/bulk). --- ### 3. Key Features & Benefits - **Omnidirectional Flow:** The square-fin (cross-cut) design allows air to pass through from any direction, making it ideal for systems where airflow direction is inconsistent or limited. - **Pre-assembled Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** Most "R0" variants come with **T766** phase-change material or high-performance thermal tape pre-applied to the base to improve heat transfer. - **Secure Attachment:** The pushPIN™ mechanism uses a compression spring and pin system that provides precise pressure to the processor, preventing movement during shipping or vibration. - **Low Profile:** At only 10mm high, it is suitable for 1U server chassis or compact embedded electronics where vertical clearance is a constraint. --- ### 4. Thermal Performance Thermal resistance varies based on the airflow (measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM): | Airflow Velocity (LFM) | 100 (0.5m/s) | 200 (1.0m/s) | 400 (2.0m/s) | 600 (3.0m/s) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Resistance (°C/W)** | 18.08 | 8.36 | 4.72 | 3.55 | ---
