Technical Specifications The following table summarizes the physical and thermal properties of this component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ / blueICE™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 50.00 mm x 50.00 mm | | **Height (H)** | 25.00 mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 3.18°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Interface Material** | T766 (Phase Change Material) | --- ### 2. Electronic Application Features #### A. Thermal Management The primary purpose of this part is to dissipate heat from surface-mount components. - **Convection:** It features a fine-pitch fin design to maximize surface area for both natural and forced air convection. - **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** It comes pre-applied with **T766**, a high-performance thermal pad that ensures low contact resistance between the electronic package and the heat sink. #### B. Mounting Mechanism (pushPIN™) Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, the ATS-07D-124-C2-R0 uses a mechanical attachment: 1. **Push Pins:** Nylon or brass pins that lock into pre-drilled holes in the PCB. 2. **Compression Springs:** These provide a precise amount of downward pressure (clamping force), ensuring consistent thermal contact without damaging the delicate silicon die. #### C. Material Science - **Aluminum Construction:** Offers a balance between lightweight design and high thermal conductivity. - **Blue Anodization:** Not only provides a professional aesthetic but also increases the surface emissivity and protects the aluminum from corrosion in industrial environments. --- ### 3. Use Cases in Electronics * **Networking Hardware:** Cooling ASICs in routers and switches. * **Industrial PCs:** Thermal regulation for microprocessors in harsh environments. * **Power Electronics:** Dissipating heat from MOSFET arrays or IGBTs. * **Embedded Systems:** Suitable for high-speed FPGA modules.
