The **ATS-08H-98-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or high-power transistors. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary technical parameters for this specific part number: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Fin Type** | Cross-Cut (Pin Fin) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 15.31°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45mm x 45mm x 20mm | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ## 2. Key Component Features ### A. pushPIN™ Attachment System This part utilizes a specialized mechanical attachment system. Instead of using messy adhesives or simple clips, it uses a spring-loaded pin mechanism. * **Precision:** Ensures uniform pressure across the component surface. * **Reliability:** Resistant to shock and vibration. * **Ease of Assembly:** Features pre-drilled holes for rapid installation on a PCB. ### B. Cross-Cut Fin Design The fin geometry is "cross-cut," creating a grid of pins rather than long continuous walls. * **Omnidirectional Airflow:** Heat dissipation is effective regardless of which direction the fan is blowing. * **Turbulence:** The pin structure breaks up laminar airflow, increasing heat transfer efficiency. ### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The unit comes with **T766** pre-applied to the base. * This is a phase-change or high-conductivity pad that fills microscopic air gaps between the heat sink and the electronic chip, significantly reducing thermal impedance. --- ## 3. Applications The ATS-08H-98-C2-R0 is typically used in the following electronic environments: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling high-speed processors in routers and switches. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs where space is limited but heat density is high. 3. **Power Supplies:** Managing heat in voltage regulators and power converters.
