The **ATS-07F-13-C2-R0** is a specific part number for a high-performance **heat sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). While it is not an "electronic part" in the sense of a semiconductor (like a chip), it is a critical thermal management component used to protect electronic devices from overheating. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number follows a specific nomenclature used by ATS to define the physical and thermal properties of the heat sink. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 50.00mm x 50.00mm x 15.00mm | | **Thermal Resistance (Flowing)** | 1.15 °C/W @ 200 LFM | | **Thermal Resistance (Static)** | 13.70 °C/W | | **Fin Style** | XC (Fine Pitch / Cross-Cut) | --- ### 2. Breakdown of the Part Number The nomenclature can be decoded as follows: * **ATS:** Manufacturer (Advanced Thermal Solutions). * **07:** The specific series/style. * **F:** Fin pitch/density (in this case, "Fine"). * **13:** Dimension code. * **C2:** Material/Finish (Blue Anodized Aluminum). * **R0:** Revision code / RoHS Compliance status. --- ### 3. Key Electronic Functions In an electronic system, this part performs the following roles: 1. **Heat Dissipation:** It increases the surface area of a component (like a CPU, GPU, or FPGA), allowing the surrounding air to carry away heat more efficiently. 2. **Thermal Protection:** By lowering the operating temperature, it prevents "thermal throttling" and extends the lifespan of the underlying silicon. 3. **Mechanical Stability:** The **pushPIN™** attachment mechanism ensures consistent pressure on the thermal interface material (TIM), which is vital for efficient heat transfer between the chip and the aluminum. --- ### 4. Application Examples This specific size (50mm x 50mm) is commonly used on: * **Northbridge/Southbridge** chipsets on motherboards. * **Power Supply Units (PSUs)** for cooling MOSFETs. * **Embedded Systems** like industrial PCs or networking routers. ---
