It belongs to the thermal management category, specifically designed as a high-performance heat sink. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications The part number follows a specific nomenclature that defines its physical and thermal characteristics. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Heat Sink | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic or Brass) | | **Thermal Resistance (Flowing)** | 7.44 °C/W @ 100 LFM | | **Thermal Resistance (Static)** | 2.63 °C/W | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 50.00mm x 50.00mm x 25.00mm | --- ## 2. Key Components & Design The "electronic parts" of this assembly are strictly mechanical but critical for electronic cooling: ### A. The Heat Sink Body * **XC Cut Profile:** This model uses a "cross-cut" fin design. This allows for multi-directional airflow, making it efficient even if the air isn't blowing directly from one side. * **Aluminum 6063:** Chosen for its excellent thermal conductivity and lightweight properties. ### B. The Attachment Mechanism (Push-Pins) * **Compression Springs:** These provide consistent pressure between the heat sink and the electronic component (like a BGA or CPU). * **Push-Pin material:** Usually made of durable plastic or brass, designed to snap into pre-drilled holes on a PCB. ### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) * The part usually comes with a pre-applied **Phase Change Material** or thermal tape to ensure there are no air gaps between the chip and the aluminum base. --- ## 3. Typical Applications This heat sink is used to cool integrated circuits (ICs) that generate significant heat during operation: 1. **Telecommunications:** Networking switches and routers. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Industrial motherboards. 3. **Power Supplies:** High-efficiency voltage regulators. --- ## 4. Part Number Breakdown The nomenclature **ATS-07F-15-C2-R0** can be decoded as: * **ATS:** Advanced Thermal Solutions (Manufacturer). * **07:** Series/Design identifier. * **F:** Fin pitch/Density. * **15:** Specific height or configuration variant. * **C2:** Thermal Interface Material / Color (Blue Anodized). * **R0:** Revision status.
