Key Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | |:---|:---| | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. (ATS) | | **Part Number** | ATS-11F-75-C1-R0 | | **Material** | Aluminum (with Blue Anodized Finish) | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded pins) | | **Footprint (L x W)** | 37.0 mm x 37.0 mm | | **Height** | 22.9 mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | Approx. 1.80 °C/W (@ 200 LFM) | | **Fin Style** | maxiFLOW (Tapered Fin Design) | --- ### 2. Design Features and Electronic Benefits * **maxiFLOW™ Technology:** This part features a unique flared fin structure. This design increases the surface area for heat dissipation and maximizes the use of airflow coming from the fan, reducing the "pressure drop" compared to standard straight-fin heat sinks. * **pushPIN™ Attachment:** Instead of messy adhesives or thermal tapes, this part uses a mechanical **pushPIN™** system. This ensures even pressure across the electronic chip, which optimizes the thermal interface and prevents the heat sink from shifting during vibration or shipping. * **Blue Anodized Coating:** The blue finish isn't just for aesthetics; anodizing increases the surface emissivity, allowing for better radiant heat transfer and providing a protective layer against corrosion. --- ### 3. Usage Context in Electronics This component is typically mounted directly onto high-heat-generating integrated circuits (ICs) on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). It is commonly found in: 1. **Telecommunications Equipment:** Routers and switches. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Industrial computers and controllers. 3. **High-Speed Computing:** Data center hardware where space is constrained but thermal loads are high. ---
