The **ATS-04H-85-C3-R0** is not a complex electronic component like an integrated circuit; rather, it is a **high-performance thermal management component (Heat Sink)** manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic parts such as CPUs, GPUs, or high-power transistors to prevent thermal throttling or hardware failure. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications The following table summarizes the primary physical and thermal characteristics of this part: | Characteristic | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions** | 35mm x 35mm x 10mm | | **Attachment Type** | Push-Pin (Spring-loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 24.11°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | | **Compliance** | RoHS Compliant | --- ## 2. Component Design Analysis ### A. Material and Coating * **Aluminum Construction:** Offers a high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent thermal conductivity. * **Blue Anodized Finish:** This is not just for aesthetics; the anodized layer provides increased surface emissivity (improving radiant heat transfer) and protects the aluminum from corrosion and wear. ### B. Fin Geometry * **Straight Fin Design:** This model utilizes vertical fins. This is optimized for systems where there is a clear, directional airflow (forced convection) provided by a cooling fan. ### C. The Attachment Mechanism (pushPIN™) The "R0" suffix refers to the specific attachment kit included. It uses a **Push-Pin** and **Brass Spring** assembly: * **Secure Fit:** Provides a precise and consistent pressure (Pre-assembled spring) against the electronic component. * **Ease of Install:** No specialized tools are required for mounting, provided the PCB has the standard 3.0mm diameter holes. --- ## 3. Ideal Use Cases This heat sink is typically used for cooling components that generate moderate heat in space-constrained environments: * **Small Form Factor (SFF) PCs:** Due to the low profile (10mm height). * **Networking Gear:** Routers, switches, and bridge chips. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial motherboards where reliability is critical. ---
