The **ATS-08A-71-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. | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic/Brass) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 19.50° C/W (at 100 LFM) to 3.20° C/W (at 700 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45mm x 45mm x 10mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | --- ### 2. Physical Design Features The "electronic" profile of this part is centered around airflow optimization and mechanical stability: * **Straight Fin Design:** This model utilizes longitudinal fins, which are ideal for systems with clear, unidirectional airflow. * **pushPIN™ Attachment:** Unlike adhesive tapes, the push-pin mechanism provides a secure mechanical connection to the PCB. This ensures constant pressure (7-10 lbs) on the electronic component, improving thermal transfer through the interface material. * **Low Profile:** With a height of only 10mm, it is suitable for dense electronic assemblies or thin enclosures where vertical space is limited. --- ### 3. Thermal Performance Data Performance varies based on the Air Velocity (Measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM): | Air Velocity (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (Unducted) | | :--- | :--- | | 100 | 19.50 °C/W | | 300 | 5.30 °C/W | | 500 | 3.80 °C/W | | 700 | 3.20 °C/W | --- ### 4. Part Number Breakdown The suffix `C2` indicates the specific Thermal Interface Material (TIM) and color: * **C2:** Refers to a Blue Anodized finish and a specific thermal grease or pad type pre-applied to the base. * **R0:** This is the revision/packaging code for the product series.
