The **ATS-P2-199-C1-R0** is a specific part number for a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It belongs to the "push-pin" series designed for cooling electronic components such as CPUs, GPUs, and high-heat ICs. ### Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic) with Spring | | **Dimensions** | 50mm x 50mm x 6mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T766 (High Performance) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 15.80°C/W (Unducted @ 200 LFM) | --- ### Key Components & Design Features #### 1. Push-Pin Attachment Mechanism The "P2" in the part number denotes a specific push-pin design. This mechanism provides a secure fit through pre-drilled holes in the PCB. The integrated springs ensure consistent pressure across the interface, which is critical for maximizing heat transfer and preventing damage to the silicon die. #### 2. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "C1" designation indicates that the unit comes pre-applied with **ATS T766** thermal material. This removes the need for manual thermal paste application, ensuring a uniform layer that bridges the microscopic air gaps between the component and the heat sink. #### 3. Material and Coating * **Aluminum:** Chosen for its excellent thermal conductivity-to-weight ratio. * **Blue Anodizing:** Beyond aesthetics, the anodized layer provides minor protection against corrosion and can slightly improve emissivity. #### 4. Low Profile Design With a height of only **6mm**, this heat sink is designed for space-constrained environments such as: * 1U/2U Rackmount servers. * Compact embedded systems. * Network switches and routers. --- ### Use Cases in Electronics * **ASIC/FPGA Cooling:** Ideal for cooling programmable logic devices that generate localized heat. * **Southbridge/Northbridge:** Commonly used on older motherboard chipsets or modern SOCs. * **Power Electronics:** Can be used to dissipate heat from MOSFET arrays or VRM components.
