The **ATS-08F-142-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component. Specifically, it is a **Heatsink** designed for cooling electronic components such as CPUs, GPUs, or power modules. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications The part number follows a specific nomenclature from the manufacturer, **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions Inc. | | **Series** | pushPIN™ HS | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Spring Loaded) | | **Dimensions** | 30.00mm x 30.00mm x 15.00mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 4.85°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Fin Style** | Fine Pitch (Square Pattern) | --- ## 2. Key Electronic Functions ### Thermal Dissipation This part is a **passive cooler**. Its primary function is to increase the surface area of a heat-generating electronic component, allowing the surrounding air to carry heat away more efficiently. ### pushPIN™ Attachment System Unlike adhesive-based heatsinks, the `C2-R0` version uses a mechanical **Push-Pin** system. This provides: * **Constant Pressure:** Ensures the thermal interface material (TIM) is compressed evenly for maximum heat transfer. * **Reliability:** Mechanical pins prevent the heatsink from shifting or falling off due to vibration or thermal cycling. ### Material Science * **Aluminum Construction:** Offers a balance between thermal conductivity and lightweight properties. * **Blue Anodized Coating:** Not only provides a professional aesthetic but also adds a layer of electrical insulation and corrosion resistance to the aluminum surface. --- ## 3. Comparison of Airflow Performance The effectiveness of this heatsink varies based on the Linear Feet per Minute (LFM) of airflow provided by system fans. | Airflow Velocity (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | | 100 (0.5 m/s) | 4.85 | | 200 (1.0 m/s) | 2.99 | | 300 (1.5 m/s) | 2.56 | | 400 (2.0 m/s) | 2.31 | --- ## 4. Part Number Breakdown The suffix **C2-R0** provides specific details about the materials: * **C2:** Indicates the use of a specific Thermal Interface Material (usually a pre-applied high-performance thermal pad). * **R0:** Refers to the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance status, ensuring it is safe for global distribution.
