The **ATS-19F-89-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 high-efficiency cooling of surface-mount components. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal properties of the component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum (Black Anodized) | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 3.94 °C/W @ 200 LFM (Linear Feet per Minute) | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 45.00 mm x 45.00 mm | | **Height** | 20.00 mm | | **Orientation** | High-performance spread fin design | --- ### 2. Key Electronic & Mechanical Features #### A. The pushPIN™ Attachment System The "R0" suffix indicates the use of the **pushPIN™** attachment mechanism. Unlike adhesive tapes, this uses a brass or plastic pin with a high-tension spring. * **Benefits:** Ensures constant pressure on the electronic component (CPU/GPU/FPGA) for optimal heat transfer. * **Reliability:** Resistant to shock and vibration, making it suitable for industrial electronics. #### B. maxiFLOW™ Fin Geometry The "89" in the part number refers to the specific fin pattern. * **Design:** The fins are tapered and flared. * **Function:** This reduces pressure drop and maximizes air turbulence, allowing the heat sink to perform exceptionally well in systems with moderate airflow. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The **C2** designation typically refers to the pre-applied thermal interface material. * **Material:** ATS uses a high-conductivity phase-change material or thermal grease (often **ATS-54**). * **Purpose:** Fills microscopic air gaps between the chip surface and the aluminum heat sink base to lower thermal impedance. --- ### 3. Application Use-Cases This specific heat sink is commonly used for cooling the following electronic parts: 1. **FPGAs & ASICs:** High-density chips used in networking and telecommunications. 2. **Processors:** Embedded CPUs that require passive or semi-active cooling. 3. **Power Supplies:** Cooling MOSFETs or power modules in compact enclosures. ---
