The **ATS-08B-32-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heatsink** manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)*. It belongs to the **maxiFLOW™** series, which is designed to provide high thermal performance in environments with constrained airflow. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table breaks down the electronic and mechanical characteristics of this part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions Inc. | | **Part Number** | ATS-08B-32-C2-R0 | | **Material** | Aluminum (with Blue Anodized finish) | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (with Springs) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 21.46 °C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 32.00 mm x 32.00 mm | | **Height (Fin Depth)** | 12.70 mm | | **Thermal Interface Material** | T766 (High Performance Polymer) | --- ### 2. Key Components & Features #### A. Fin Design (maxiFLOW™) The "maxiFLOW" geometry features a tapered fin structure. This design increases the surface area while reducing the pressure drop, allowing the heatsink to operate efficiently even when the cooling fan speed is low. #### B. pushPIN™ Attachment Unlike simple adhesive tapes, the **pushPIN™** system uses a flexible spring-loaded mechanism. This ensures: * **Constant Pressure:** Maintains a secure contact between the heatsink and the electronic component (CPU/GPU/FPGA). * **Shock Resistance:** Protects the component from mechanical stress or vibration during transport. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The part comes pre-applied with **T766**. This is a thermal grease/pad substitute that fills microscopic air gaps between the heatsink base and the chip, significantly improving heat transfer efficiency. --- ### 3. Thermal Performance Matrix Thermal resistance determines how effectively the part dissipates heat relative to airflow (Measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM): | Velocity (LFM) | Velocity (m/s) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 100 | 0.5 | 21.46 | | 300 | 1.5 | 6.60 | | 500 | 2.5 | 3.99 | | 700 | 3.5 | 3.02 | --- ### 4. Application Use Cases * **Embedded Systems:** Cooling small-form-factor processors. * **Telecommunications:** Used on PCB components within routers and switches. * **Power Electronics:** Managing heat for VRMs (Voltage Regulator Modules) and power MOSFETs.
