The **ATS-07G-159-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically an **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) push-pin heatsink**. It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or FPGAs. ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table summarizes the key physical and thermal characteristics of this part: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45mm x 45mm x 10mm | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Spring Type** | Compression Spring | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin (Extruded) | --- ### 2. Electronic Application & Performance This part is critical for maintaining the reliability of integrated circuits (ICs) by preventing thermal throttling or permanent heat damage. * **Thermal Resistance:** It is designed to lower the thermal resistance between the semiconductor junction and the ambient air. Performance varies based on airflow: * **Low Airflow (200 LFM):** Approximately 3.48 °C/W. * **High Airflow (700 LFM):** Approximately 1.41 °C/W. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** The "T766" coating is a phase-change material that fills microscopic air gaps between the chip and the heatsink base, significantly improving heat transfer efficiency. --- ### 3. Mounting and Mechanical Features The **ATS-07G-159-C2-R0** uses a standardized push-pin mounting system, which is common in high-vibration environments or industrial electronics. 1. **Push-Pins:** Plastic pins that snap into pre-drilled holes in the PCB (Printed Circuit Board). 2. **Compression Springs:** These provide a precise amount of downward pressure (clamping force) to ensure consistent contact with the electronic component without cracking the silicon die. 3. **Hole Pattern:** Specifically designed for a standardized pitch, typically used in 45mm footprint applications. --- ### 4. Part Number Breakdown Understanding the nomenclature helps in selecting equivalent parts: * **ATS:** Manufacturer prefix. * **07:** Series number. * **G:** Fin pattern/material designation. * **159:** Specific geometry/size code. * **C2:** Thermal performance/TIM grade. * **R0:** RoHS compliance status.
