The **ATS-11F-142-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It belongs to the **maxiFLOW™** series, designed to provide high-efficiency cooling for electronic components like processors, FPGAs, and ASICs. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table summarizes the key physical and thermal properties of this specific part: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Dimensions** | 45mm x 45mm x 9.5mm | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ | | **Fin Style** | maxiFLOW (Tapered Fin Design) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 4.92°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Compliance** | RoHS and REACH Compliant | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Features #### A. High-Efficiency Fin Geometry The "maxiFLOW" design uses a flared, tapered fin structure. In electronics, this reduces air pressure drop and increases the surface area for heat dissipation, which is critical for components packed into tight enclosures. #### B. pushPIN™ Attachment System Instead of simple adhesive tape, this part uses the **pushPIN™** system. - **Reliability:** Ensures consistent pressure between the heat sink and the electronic component (TIM - Thermal Interface Material). - **Security:** Prevents the heat sink from shifting due to vibration or shock, protecting the delicate solder joints of the BGA package. #### C. Pre-Applied Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The part typically comes with a high-performance thermal pad or grease pre-applied to the base. This ensures optimal heat transfer from the electronic silicon chip to the aluminum structure without trapped air pockets. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases * **Networking Equipment:** Used on high-speed switches and routers. * **Power Supplies:** Cooling MOSFETs or voltage regulators. * **Embedded Systems:** Protecting industrial-grade CPUs from thermal throttling. ---
