The **ATS-11F-82-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 for cooling high-power semiconductors and integrated circuits. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of this specific part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | maxiFLOW™ | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded pins) | | **Material** | Blue Anodized Aluminum | | **Dimensions** | 30.00mm x 30.00mm | | **Height (Off Base)** | 25.00mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 2.49°C/W @ 200 LFM | | **Fin Style** | Spread Fin (Tapered) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Features #### A. Thermal Management (Heat Dissipation) The primary role of this part is to increase the surface area of an electronic component (like a CPU, FPGA, or MOSFET). The **maxiFLOW™** design features a graduated fin pattern that reduces pressure drop and maximizes airflow through the fins, making it highly efficient for forced-air cooling environments. #### B. pushPIN™ Attachment System Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, this model uses a mechanical **pushPIN™** system. - **Benefits:** It provides consistent pressure on the thermal interface material (TIM). - **Reliability:** It ensures the heat sink remains secure during vibration or shipping. - **Hardware:** It typically includes a brass or plastic pin and a compression spring. #### C. Material Properties - **Aluminum (AL6063):** Chosen for its excellent thermal conductivity-to-weight ratio. - **Blue Anodization:** Not just for aesthetics; the anodized finish increases surface emissivity and provides corrosion resistance for sensitive electronic environments. --- ### 3. Applications This specific heat sink is commonly found in the following electronic sectors: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling high-speed networking chips. 2. **Embedded Computing:** Managing heat in industrial motherboards. 3. **Power Electronics:** Dissipating heat from high-voltage power modules. ---
