The **ATS-07D-26-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is part of the "pushPIN™" series, designed for efficient cooling of semiconductor devices like CPUs, GPUs, or power transistors. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications The model number encodes specific physical and thermal characteristics: | Property | Description | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Type** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Fin Type** | Fine Pitch (maximizes surface area) | | **Fin Pattern** | Straight | | **Dimensions** | 40mm x 40mm x 15mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | ~14.20 °C/W (at 100 LFM) | --- ## 2. Key Electronic Components & Features ### A. PushPIN™ Attachment System Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, this part uses a mechanical spring-loaded pin system. * **Benefits:** Ensures consistent pressure (clamping force) between the heat sink and the electronic chip, improving thermal transfer. * **Hardware:** It typically uses brass or plastic pins with stainless steel springs. ### B. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "R0" at the end of the part number usually signifies the pre-applied thermal interface. * **Function:** It fills microscopic air gaps between the heat sink base and the electronic component. * **Type:** This model usually comes with **T766** (a high-performance thermal grease) or a similar phase-change material. ### C. Thermal Performance (Airflow Efficiency) The heat sink is designed to operate under different airflow conditions (measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM): | Air Velocity (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | | 100 | 14.20 | | 300 | 3.90 | | 500 | 2.50 | --- ## 3. Application Use Cases This component is used to protect sensitive electronic parts from "Thermal Throttling" or permanent damage. Common applications include: * **Network Switches:** Cooling ASICs and processors. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs where space is limited. * **Power Supplies:** Cooling MOSFETs or Voltage Regulators. --- ## 4.
