Technical Specifications Below are the primary mechanical and thermal characteristics of this specific part: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (with Blue Anodized Finish) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 54.00mm x 59.00mm x 20.00mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 1.72°C/W @ 200 LFM | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Flow Pattern** | maxiFLOW™ (Optimized for air spread) | | **Compliance** | RoHS / REACH Compliant | --- ### 2. Design and Component Breakdown #### A. The maxiFLOW™ Fin Geometry The "C1" in the part number refers to the specific fin design. Unlike traditional straight-fin heat sinks, the maxiFLOW™ design features a flared-fin geometry. This increases the surface area and maximizes airflow (convection) by reducing air pressure drop across the sink. #### B. The pushPIN™ Attachment System The **ATS-P2** series utilizes a specialized mounting system. This consists of: * **Plastic/Brass Push Pins:** Used to secure the heat sink to pre-drilled holes in the PCB. * **Compression Springs:** These provide high-interface pressure to ensure the thermal interface material (TIM) is compressed evenly, maximizing heat transfer from the chip to the aluminum. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) Typically, these parts come with **Phase Change Material (PCM)** or high-performance thermal grease pre-applied to the base. This fills microscopic air gaps between the heat sink and the electronic component (CPU, FPGA, or ASIC). --- ### 3. Electronic Application Use Cases This part is commonly found in the following electronic systems: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling high-speed switching and routing hardware. 2. **Embedded Computing:** Thermal management for industrial motherboards. 3. **Power Electronics:** Dissipating heat from high-wattage voltage regulators or power modules. --- ### 4.
