The **ATS-10F-79-C3-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is part of the "push pin" series designed for securing the cooling element directly to a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of the component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 25mm x 25mm x 30mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight (Vertical) | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic or Brass) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 2.68°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **TIM (Thermal Interface Material)** | T412 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Key Components & Materials * **Aluminum Body:** Uses AL6063 aluminum, which provides an excellent balance between thermal conductivity and weight. * **Push-Pin Attachment:** The part utilizes a spring-loaded push-pin mechanism. This ensures constant pressure on the electronic component (CPU, FPGA, etc.), improving heat transfer. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** It comes pre-applied with **T412**, a high-performance thermal grease that fills microscopic air gaps between the heat sink and the component surface. * **Blue Anodized Finish:** The coating increases surface emissivity (radiative heat loss) and provides corrosion resistance. --- ### 3. Usage & Application This part is typically used in space-constrained electronic environments where active cooling (fans) might be limited or where high-density heat must be dissipated. * **Target Components:** High-speed processors, power modules, and large-scale integrated circuits (ICs). * **Flow Direction:** Designed for **cross-flow** or **parallel-flow** air environments. * **PCB Mounting:** Requires specific hole diameters (usually 3.0mm) on the PCB to accommodate the push-pins. --- ### 4. Part Number Breakdown The part number follows a specific nomenclature used by ATS: `ATS` - `10` - `F` - `79` - `C3` - `R0` | Segment | Meaning | | :--- | :--- | | **ATS** | Brand Identifier | | **10** | Attachment Type (Push-Pin) | | **F** | Fin Pitch (Fine Pitch) | | **79** | Specific Product Sequence/ID | | **C3** | Thermal Interface Material (T412) | | **R0** | Revision code/Packaging code |
