The **ATS-P2-50-C3-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, designed for cooling electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and other high-heat integrated circuits. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table highlights the primary physical and thermal characteristics of the part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | maxiFLOW™ | | **Dimensions** | 50.00mm x 50.00mm | | **Height** | 10.00mm (Low Profile) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 1.90°C/W @ 200 LFM | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic & Design Features #### A. Fin Geometry The part utilizes **spread-fin geometry**. Unlike standard straight-fin heat sinks, the fins flare outward. This design: * Maximizes surface area for heat dissipation. * Reduces pressure drop, allowing air to flow more easily through the assembly. * Is optimized for high-velocity airflow environments. #### B. pushPIN™ Attachment System To ensure reliable contact with the electronic component (die or package), this heat sink uses a **pushPIN™** mechanism: * **Constant Pressure:** It applies a precise amount of force via a compression spring to ensure optimal thermal interface material (TIM) performance. * **Vibration Resistance:** The mechanical locking prevents the heat sink from shifting during shipping or industrial vibrations. * **Easy Installation:** Features a "push-and-click" mechanism into pre-drilled holes on the PCB. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "R0" suffix typically denotes that the part comes with a pre-applied **Phase Change Material (PCM)** or high-performance thermal pad. This eliminates the need for manual application of thermal grease and ensures even heat transfer from the electronic chip to the aluminum base. --- ### 3. Typical Applications This specific part is used in electronics where vertical space is limited but heat density is high: 1. **Telecommunications:** Network switches and routers. 2. **Embedded Computing:** Industrial PC motherboards. 3. **Power Supplies:** Cooling MOSFETs or power modules. 4. **LED Lighting:** High-output LED arrays requiring compact cooling. ---
