The **ATS-P2-46-C1-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It belongs to the "maxiFLOW™" series, which features a flared fin design to maximize cooling efficiency in constrained spaces. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number follows a specific nomenclature that defines its physical and thermal characteristics. | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Heat Sink (Passive) | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45.00mm x 45.00mm x 25.00mm | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Fin Style** | Flared Fin (maxiFLOW™) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 2.47°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Interface Material** | T766 (Thermal Interface Material pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Design Features * **maxiFLOW™ Geometry:** The fins are tapered and flared outward. This design increases the surface area and creates more turbulence in the airflow, which significantly reduces the thermal resistance compared to straight-fin heat sinks. * **pushPIN™ Attachment:** It uses a specialized mounting system consisting of a brass or plastic pin and a compression spring. This ensures consistent pressure across the surface of the electronic component (CPU, FPGA, or GPU), preventing air gaps. * **Pre-Applied TIM:** The unit comes with a Phase Change Material (T766) or Thermal Tape pre-applied to the base, ensuring optimal heat transfer from the chip to the aluminum without requiring manual paste application. --- ### 3. Electronic Application This part is typically used to cool high-heat-generating integrated circuits (ICs) in the following sectors: * **Networking:** Routers, switches, and base stations. * **Computing:** Embedded systems, high-speed servers, and power supplies. * **Industrial:** Motor controllers and power converters where space is limited but airflow is available. --- ### 4. Thermal Performance Comparison The performance of the ATS-P2-46-C1-R0 varies based on the Air Velocity (Measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM): | Air Velocity (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | | 100 (Natural/Low) | 3.48 | | 200 (Medium) | 2.47 | | 400 (High) | 1.76 | | 600 (Extreme) | 1.45 |
