Key Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Part Number** | ATS-10F-79-C1-R0 | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 26.32°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 25.00mm x 25.00mm x 30.00mm | --- ### 2. Component Analysis #### A. The pushPIN™ Attachment System The part features a pre-assembled **push-pin** mechanism. This is a critical electronic hardware component because: * **Ease of Installation:** It allows for quick, tool-less installation onto a PCB. * **Compression Springs:** It includes a high-performance compression spring that ensures even pressure across the thermal interface material (TIM). * **Reliability:** It prevents the heat sink from shifting during vibration or shock. #### B. Thermal Performance (Fin Design) The "79" in the part number refers to a specific fin configuration. This heat sink uses a **Fine Pitch** design, which increases the surface area for heat dissipation. This is particularly effective in systems with forced air cooling (fans). #### C. Material and Coating * **Aluminum Construction:** Provides a lightweight solution with high thermal conductivity. * **Blue Anodized Finish:** Not only provides a professional aesthetic but also adds a layer of protection against corrosion and slightly increases emissivity for better radiant heat transfer. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This specific model is typically used on high-density PCBs where space is limited but vertical clearance (30mm) is available. Common applications include: 1. **Network Switches/Routers:** Cooling small, high-heat processors. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs requiring stable thermal management. 3. **Power Supplies:** Cooling discrete power semiconductors. --- ### 4.
