The **ATS-08B-75-C3-R0** is a specific high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of their "push pin" attachment series designed for cooling electronic components such as CPUs, GPUs, and high-power chipsets. Below is a detailed breakdown of its specifications and electronic application characteristics. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum (High Performance) | | **Fin Type** | straight-fin (Push-Pin) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 15.28°C/W (Unducted @ 100 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 25.00mm x 25.00mm x 30.00mm | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Brass, 10-pack or individual) | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T412 (Double-sided thermal tape) | --- ### 2. Physical Design Features * **Fin Style:** It utilizes a high-density vertical fin design. This maximizes the surface area for heat dissipation while maintaining a compact footprint (25mm x 25mm). * **Height Profile:** At 30mm tall, it is considered a mid-to-high profile heat sink, requiring sufficient clearance within an electronic enclosure. * **Finish:** Blue Anodized. Anodizing not only prevents corrosion but also slightly increases surface emissivity, which helps with radiative cooling. --- ### 3. Application in Electronics This component is used in electronic circuit design to manage the thermal load of semiconductors. Key use cases include: 1. **Component Protection:** Prevents thermal throttling or permanent damage to BGA (Ball Grid Array) components. 2. **Mechanical Stability:** The "Push-Pin" mechanism ensures a consistent downward pressure (clamping force) on the chip, which is more reliable than simple adhesive in high-vibration environments. 3. **Efficiency:** The pre-applied T412 thermal interface material ensures low contact resistance between the electronic package and the aluminum base. --- ### 4. Part Number Breakdown (Nomenclature) * **ATS:** Manufacturer prefix. * **08:** Series designation. * **B:** Material/Revision code. * **75:** Specific geometry/Fin configuration. * **C3:** Blue Anodized finish. * **R0:** Compliance code (RoHS compliant). ---
