The **ATS-08B-72-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). Below is a detailed breakdown of its technical specifications and physical characteristics. ### 1. General Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Part Number** | ATS-08B-72-C2-R0 | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin | --- ### 2. Physical Dimensions The dimensions are critical for ensuring the part fits onto the PCB and aligns with the electronic component (CPU, GPU, or MOSFET) it is intended to cool. * **Length (A):** 45.00 mm * **Width (B):** 45.00 mm * **Height (C):** 15.00 mm * **Pitch (E):** 50.00 mm (Distance between mounting holes) * **Pitch (F):** 50.00 mm --- ### 3. Thermal Performance Thermal resistance determines how effectively the heat sink transfers heat away from the electronic component into the surrounding air. | Airflow Velocity (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) - Unducted | | :--- | :--- | | 100 (0.5 m/s) | 5.11 | | 200 (1.0 m/s) | 2.73 | | 300 (1.5 m/s) | 2.13 | | 400 (2.0 m/s) | 1.82 | --- ### 4. Key Design Features * **Fin Configuration:** This model features a **Straight Fin** design, which is optimized for systems with a consistent direction of airflow. * **Attachment Mechanism:** It utilizes a **Push-Pin** system with a compression spring. This provides the necessary downward force to maintain a tight thermal interface between the heat sink and the component. * **Material Properties:** Made from AL6063 aluminum, providing a good balance between weight, thermal conductivity, and cost. * **Pre-applied Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** Most "R0" variants come with a pre-applied high-performance thermal pad or grease to simplify assembly. ### 5.
