### Overview of ATS-20F-52-C2-R0 The **ATS-20F-52-C2-R0** is a high-performance **Heat Sink** manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)*. It belongs to the **maxiFLOW™** series, designed specifically for cooling electronic components such as processors, FPGAs, and ASICs that require high heat dissipation in constrained airflow environments. --- ### Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Part Number** | ATS-20F-52-C2-R0 | | **Series** | maxiFLOW™ | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Thermal Resistance** | 1.07°C/W @ 200 LFM (Linear Feet per Minute) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 52.00mm x 52.00mm x 12.70mm | --- ### Electronic and Mechanical Components The "Electronic Part" in this context refers to the assembly components that ensure the thermal management system functions correctly. #### 1. Heat Sink Body (The Radiator) The primary component is the aluminum structure. It uses a **fluted fin design** (maxiFLOW™). This geometry increases the surface area significantly compared to standard square-cut fins, allowing for maximum heat transfer to the surrounding air. #### 2. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) * **Pre-Applied Coating:** This specific model comes with **T766**, a high-performance Phase Change Material (PCM). * **Function:** It fills the microscopic air gaps between the hot electronic chip and the bottom of the heat sink to ensure efficient heat conduction. #### 3. The pushPIN™ Attachment System Instead of simple adhesives, this part uses a mechanical fastening system: * **Springs:** Provides consistent pressure (Pre-assembled) to maintain a tight seal between the chip and the sink. * **Brass/Plastic Pins:** Used to lock the heat sink into pre-drilled holes on the PCB (Printed Circuit Board). --- ### Thermal Performance Data Performance varies based on the airflow (Velocity) within the electronic enclosure: | Air Velocity (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | | 200 (1.0 m/s) | 1.07 | | 300 (1.5 m/s) | 0.86 | | 400 (2.0 m/s) | 0.74 | | 600 (3.0 m/s) | 0.60 | --- ### Application Usage This part is typically found in: * **Telecommunications:** High-speed routers and switches. * **Industrial Computing:** Embedded systems where vertical space is limited (12.7mm height). * **Power Electronics:** Cooling MOSFETs or power conversion modules.
