The **ATS-P1-01-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the "pushPIN™" series designed for cooling electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and power modules. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number encodes specific physical and thermal characteristics: | Characteristic | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL-6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded pins) | | **Dimensions** | 40mm x 40mm x 10mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 21.93°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | | **Fin Type** | Straight Fin | | **Spring Type** | ATS-PPS-01 | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Features #### A. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "C2" in the part number indicates that this unit comes pre-applied with **T766 phase-change material**. This is a non-conductive thermal grease/pad that fills microscopic air gaps between the electronic component (heat source) and the aluminum base to maximize heat transfer. #### B. pushPIN™ Mounting System Instead of using messy adhesives or simple clips, this part uses a precision spring-loaded pin system. This is critical for electronics because: * **Constant Pressure:** It ensures the heat sink maintains consistent contact pressure on the chip. * **Vibration Resistance:** It prevents the cooling assembly from shifting during mechanical shock. * **Reusable:** It allows for easy removal and re-installation during PCB maintenance. #### C. Airflow Optimization The straight-fin design is optimized for high-performance cooling in environments with consistent airflow. The low profile (10mm height) makes it suitable for **1U or slim-form factor server chassis** and dense telecommunications boards. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This part is typically found on the following types of electronic hardware: 1. **Network Switches/Routers:** Cooling ASICs and high-speed processors. 2. **Industrial PCs:** Cooling embedded CPU modules. 3. **Power Electronics:** Managing heat for MOSFET arrays or voltage regulators.
