The **ATS-08H-75-C3-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 power transistors to prevent thermal throttling or hardware failure. --- ### Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of this specific model: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Heat Sink Type** | Fine-pitch Cross-cut (Aluminum) | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic/Brass) | | **Dimensions** | 25mm x 25mm x 20mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 15.28°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Interface Material** | T412 (Thermal Interface Material pre-applied) | --- ### Key Electronic & Design Features #### 1. Push-Pin Attachment Mechanism Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, the `R0` designation indicates a push-pin mounting system. This provides: * **Constant Pressure:** A pre-assembled compression spring ensures consistent contact between the heat sink and the component. * **Reliability:** It is more secure than thermal tape in high-vibration environments. #### 2. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The unit comes pre-applied with **T412**, a high-performance thermal grease/pad. This fills the microscopic air gaps between the component surface and the heat sink base, significantly reducing thermal resistance. #### 3. Cross-Cut Fin Design The "Fine-Pitch" cross-cut pattern allows for: * **Multi-directional Airflow:** It performs well regardless of which way the cooling fan is blowing. * **Increased Surface Area:** The cross-cuts increase the total area available for heat transfer to the ambient air. #### 4. Material and Finish * **Aluminum 6063:** Chosen for its excellent thermal conductivity and lightweight properties. * **Blue Anodized Finish:** Provides corrosion resistance and slightly improves radiative heat transfer. --- ### Application Use-Cases This specific heat sink is typically found in: * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs where space is limited (25mm footprint). * **Telecommunications:** Cooling small chips on PCBs or routers. * **Power Supplies:** Managing heat for voltage regulators or small MOSFETs.
