The **ATS-08D-03-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or high-power transistors. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below is the technical breakdown of the part based on the manufacturer's nomenclature: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Attachment Type** | Push-Pin (Plastic or Brass) | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions** | 40mm x 40mm x 15mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 15.85°C/W (Unducted Flow) | | **Pressure Drop** | 0.15 - 0.20 in. H2O (Approx.) | --- ### 2. Key Design Elements #### A. pushPIN™ Attachment System The "08D" in the part number refers to the specific attachment mechanism. This system uses a spring-loaded push-pin that fits into pre-drilled holes in the PCB. * **Benefits:** Ensures constant pressure for optimal thermal contact and allows for quick installation/removal without tools. #### B. Fin Profile (Fine Pitch) The heat sink features a high-density fin structure. This increases the surface area available for heat transfer to the surrounding air, making it highly efficient for its compact size. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "C2" suffix typically indicates that the part comes pre-applied with a high-performance thermal interface material (T-PCM 585 or similar). This eliminates the need for manual thermal paste application. --- ### 3. Applications and Usage This part is commonly found in the following electronic environments: * **Telecommunications:** Cooling of high-speed network switches. * **Computing:** Secondary cooling for chipsets or power regulators. * **Industrial Power:** Managing heat for MOSFETs and IGBTs in power supplies. --- ### 4. Environmental Compliance * **RoHS Status:** Fully compliant (Lead-free). * **REACH Status:** Compliant with current environmental standards for hazardous substances.
