The **ATS-08G-65-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component. Specifically, it is a **Heat Sink** designed by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) for cooling electronic components such as CPUs, GPUs, or power modules. --- ### Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Attachment Type** | Push-Pin | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 45mm x 45mm | | **Height (Height Off Base)** | 25mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 6.69°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Airflow Pattern** | Fine-Pitch (Vertical fins) | --- ### Key Components & Design Features #### 1. Push-Pin Mounting System This model uses a **spring-loaded push-pin** mechanism. * **Ease of Install:** It allows for quick assembly to the PCB without the need for complex brackets. * **Constant Pressure:** The springs ensure that consistent pressure is applied between the heat sink and the electronic component, optimizing thermal transfer. #### 2. Fine-Pitch Fin Design The "G" in the part number often refers to the specific fin geometry. * The fins are spaced to maximize surface area while maintaining a low profile. * This design is optimized for both **Natural Convection** (passive cooling) and **Forced Air** (active cooling with a fan). #### 3. Material and Finish * **Aluminum Construction:** Offers a high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent thermal conductivity. * **Blue Anodized Finish:** This is not just for aesthetics; the anodization protects the aluminum from corrosion and slightly improves radiant heat emissivity. #### 4. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "C2" designation typically indicates the type of thermal interface material pre-applied to the base. * **T766:** This model usually comes with a high-performance thermal phase-change material or grease pre-applied to ensure there are no air gaps between the chip and the heat sink. --- ### Applications * **Telecommunications:** Used in routers and switches. * **Embedded Systems:** Cooling high-speed processors on industrial motherboards. * **Power Electronics:** Dissipating heat from voltage regulators and MOSFETs.
