The **ATS-10F-07-C3-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)*. It belongs to the "pushPIN™" series, designed for easy mounting on Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). ### 1. Component Overview This part is designed to dissipate heat from electronic integrated circuits (ICs) like CPUs, GPUs, or FPGAs. It features a "Fine Pitch" design to maximize surface area for cooling in environments with high airflow. ### 2. Technical Specifications | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Part Number** | ATS-10F-07-C3-R0 | | **Heat Sink Type** | pushPIN™ HS | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Thermal Resistance** | 17.09 °C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Spring-loaded) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45mm x 45mm x 12.7mm | --- ### 3. Key Electronic Characteristics #### A. Thermal Performance Thermal resistance determines how effectively the component moves heat away from the silicon. The lower the resistance, the better the cooling. * **Low Airflow (1.0 m/s):** 17.09 °C/W * **High Airflow (3.5 m/s):** 2.73 °C/W (Performance improves drastically with forced air). #### B. Attachment & Safety The `C3` designation typically refers to the **Spring/Pin material**. * **Push-Pin:** Uses a nylon or brass pin with a stainless steel spring to provide consistent downward pressure on the electronic chip, ensuring a tight interface between the chip and the heat sink. * **EMI Shielding:** Because it is blue-anodized aluminum, it provides a degree of physical protection and does not interfere with the electrical signals of the board. #### C. Fin Design The **Fine Pitch** pattern is optimized for "Straight Fin" airflow. This is best suited for systems where fans blow air directly across the PCB. --- ### 4.
