The **ATS-19F-79-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic component specifically categorized as a **Heat Sink**. It is manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)* and belongs to their "push-pin" attachment series. --- ## Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal properties of this component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Part Number** | ATS-19F-79-C2-R0 | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Spring Loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 2.63°C/W (@ 200 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 25.0mm x 25.0mm x 30.0mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | --- ## Component Breakdown ### 1. Thermal Management The primary purpose of the ATS-19F-79-C2-R0 is to dissipate heat from integrated circuits (ICs), such as CPUs, GPUs, or power transistors. By increasing the surface area of the component, it allows for faster heat transfer into the surrounding air. ### 2. Physical Design (Straight Fin) This model utilizes a **straight fin** geometry. This design is optimized for **undirectional airflow**, meaning it performs best when air is forced through the fins by a cooling fan in a specific direction. ### 3. Mounting Mechanism (Push-Pin) Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, this part uses a mechanical push-pin system: * **Security:** Provides a consistent pressure (compression) against the chip for better thermal contact. * **Reliability:** It is less likely to fall off over time compared to thermal tape, especially in high-vibration environments. * **Pre-drilled Holes:** It requires specific mounting holes on the Printed Circuit Board (PCB). ### 4. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "C2" in the part number typically signifies that the heat sink comes with a high-performance **T766 Phase Change Material** or a similar thermal pad pre-applied to the base, ensuring efficient heat transfer between the chip and the aluminum. --- ## Applications * **Networking Equipment:** Routers and switches. * **Industrial PCs:** Compact systems requiring passive or active cooling. * **Power Supplies:** Cooling voltage regulators.
