It is a high-performance heat sink designed by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). --- ### 1. Key Specifications The following table outlines the physical and technical properties of this part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions Inc. | | **Component Type** | Heat Sink | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Attachment Method** | Push Pin | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 40mm x 40mm x 10mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 22.77°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | --- ### 2. Core Electronic Components & Design While the heat sink itself is passive, its design is engineered to protect sensitive electronic components (like CPUs, GPUs, or FPGAs) from thermal throttling or failure. #### A. Fin Design * **Pattern:** It utilizes a **Square Pin Fin** pattern. * **Efficiency:** Pin fins are superior to straight fins in environments where the airflow direction is unpredictable or inconsistent, as they provide high surface area with low pressure drop. #### B. The pushPIN™ Attachment System The "P2" in the part number refers to the attachment mechanism: * **Hardware:** It uses brass or plastic push pins with a compression spring. * **Reliability:** This provides a consistent, pre-determined pressure against the electronic component (IC), ensuring optimal **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** performance. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) * **Pre-Applied:** This specific model typically comes with **ATS-CPV2** thermal grease or a similar high-performance phase-change material pre-applied to the base. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This component is typically found in: 1. **Telecommunications:** High-speed routers and switches. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs where vertical space (10mm height) is limited. 3. **Power Electronics:** Cooling MOSFETs or voltage regulators. ---
