The **ATS-08G-53-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically an **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) push-pin heatsink**. These components are critical for cooling integrated circuits (ICs) such as CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of the part: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Brass) | | **Spring Type** | Compression Spring | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 35mm x 35mm x 30mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 8.52°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 200 LFM) | | **Thermal Interface Material** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Design and Components The "Electronic Parts" involved in this assembly are categorized into the body, the mounting hardware, and the interface material. #### A. The Heat Sink Body (Finned Structure) * **Cross-Cut Fin Design:** This model features a "straight-fin" or "cross-cut" geometry. This design increases surface area and allows for multi-directional airflow, which is ideal for systems where the airflow direction might vary. * **Material:** Extruded aluminum is used for its high thermal conductivity-to-weight ratio. #### B. The Push-Pin Mounting System * **Push-Pins:** These are the mechanical fasteners (usually brass or plastic) that pass through pre-drilled holes in the Printed Circuit Board (PCB). * **Springs:** Specifically tuned compression springs provide consistent pressure on the electronic chip, ensuring optimal contact without cracking the silicon die. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) * The **T766** material is pre-applied to the base. This "electronic part" is a phase-change or grease-like material that fills microscopic air gaps between the heatsink base and the electronic component, significantly reducing thermal resistance. --- ### 3. Application Use-Case This part is typically used in the following electronic environments: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling high-speed switching chips. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Protecting industrial controllers from overheating. 3. **Computing:** Cooling Northbridge/Southbridge chipsets or smaller processing units. --- ### 4. Thermal Performance at Different Airflow Rates Performance varies based on the Linear Feet per Minute (LFM) of the cooling fan used: | Airflow (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | | 200 | 8.52 | | 400 | 3.07 | | 600 | 2.11 |
