The **ATS-P1-57-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heatsink** from Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is designed to dissipate heat from integrated circuits (ICs) and other electronic components to prevent thermal throttling or hardware failure. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number follows a specific nomenclature that defines its physical and thermal characteristics: | Property | Specification | Details | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | Part of the push-pin series | | **Material** | Aluminum | Lightweight with high thermal conductivity | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | Increases surface emissivity and provides protection | | **Mounting Type** | Push-Pin | Secure mechanical attachment to the PCB | | **Dimensions** | 40mm x 40mm x 15mm | Standard footprint for BGA and CPUs | | **Thermal Resistance** | 13.16°C/W (at 100 LFM) | Rate of heat transfer in airflow | --- ### 2. Design Features The "P1" designation indicates the **straight fin** design, which is optimized for specific airflow conditions: * **Straight Fin Profile:** Ideal for environments with unidirectional airflow (forced convection). * **Push-Pin Attachment:** This model uses a spring-loaded push-pin mechanism. This provides more consistent pressure (TIM compression) compared to adhesive tapes, improving heat transfer efficiency. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** Typically comes pre-applied with **T766** high-performance thermal phase-change material or similar, ensuring there are no air gaps between the component and the heatsink. --- ### 3. Electronic Application This part is commonly used in the following electronic systems: 1. **FPGA/ASIC Cooling:** High-speed chips that generate significant heat in telecommunications. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs where mechanical stability is required (push-pins prevent the heatsink from falling off due to vibration). 3. **Power Supplies:** Cooling voltage regulators or power transistors. --- ### 4. Part Number Breakdown The code **ATS-P1-57-C2-R0** can be decoded as follows: * **ATS:** Advanced Thermal Solutions (Manufacturer). * **P1:** Product series (Push-pin heatsink). * **57:** Specific dimension/fin geometry code. * **C2:** Material/Finish code (Aluminum, Blue Anodized). * **R0:** Revision or packaging code.
