The **ATS-08F-83-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 The part number follows a specific nomenclature that defines its physical and thermal characteristics. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic or Brass) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 1.62°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 30.00mm x 30.00mm x 20.00mm | | **Fin Type** | Fine Pitch (Cross-Cut) | --- ### 2. Key Design Features * **Cross-Cut Fin Design:** The "83" series typically utilizes a cross-cut pattern. This allows for multi-directional airflow, making it more efficient in systems where the air might not flow in a perfectly straight line. * **pushPIN™ Attachment:** This system simplifies the mounting process. It uses a flexible spring-loaded mechanism that provides consistent pressure across the thermal interface material (TIM) for optimal heat transfer. * **Pre-applied TIM:** These units often come with a pre-applied high-performance thermal interface material (like a thermal pad or paste) on the base to reduce installation time. * **Material Efficiency:** The use of aluminum provides a lightweight solution with high thermal conductivity, while the blue anodization protects against corrosion and slightly increases emissivity. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This specific heat sink is categorized as a "High-Flow" or "Fine Pitch" solution, typically used in: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling of high-speed networking chips. 2. **Embedded Systems:** For industrial PCs where space is limited but heat density is high. 3. **Power Electronics:** Dissipating heat from MOSFETs or voltage regulators. --- ### 4. Thermal Performance Comparison Thermal resistance (measured in °C/W) indicates how much the component temperature will rise above the ambient air per watt of power dissipated. ```text Airflow (LFM) | Velocity (m/s) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) --------------------------------------------------------- 200 | 1.0 | 1.62 400 | 2.0 | 1.05 600 | 3.0 | 0.82 ```
