The **ATS-52270P-C2-R0** is a high-performance thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink**, manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or FPGAs. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part belongs to the **maxiFLOW™** series, which uses a high-aspect-ratio fin design to maximize surface area for convective cooling. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (Black Anodized) | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded pins) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 2.50 °C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 52.00 mm x 52.00 mm | | **Height** | 17.50 mm | | **Thermal Interface Material** | Pre-applied T766 (High performance) | --- ### 2. Key Design Elements #### A. Fin Geometry (maxiFLOW™) Unlike standard square-cut fins, the maxiFLOW™ design features a flared fin structure. This reduces pressure drop and increases air turbulence, allowing for more efficient heat transfer even at lower fan speeds. #### B. pushPIN™ Attachment The part number suffix typically indicates the mounting hardware. The **pushPIN™** system ensures: * **Constant Pressure:** A specific amount of force is applied to the component to ensure optimal contact with the Thermal Interface Material (TIM). * **Ease of Assembly:** Quick installation through pre-drilled holes on the PCB. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "C2" in the part number often refers to the specific TIM applied to the base. The **T766** material used here is a phase-change or high-conductivity grease that fills microscopic air gaps between the heat sink base and the electronic chip. --- ### 3. Application Use-Cases This specific heat sink is typically used in industrial and telecommunications environments where space is limited but heat density is high: * **Network Switches/Routers:** Cooling high-speed processing chips. * **Embedded Systems:** For industrial PCs that require passive or forced-air cooling. * **Power Supplies:** Cooling MOSFETs or power modules. ---
