The **ATS-P2-86-C1-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or power transistors to prevent thermal throttling or hardware failure. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table highlights the core technical characteristics of this specific model: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (R0) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 35mm x 35mm x 15mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 2.47 °C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Fin Pattern** | Fine Pitch (Straight Fin) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Interface Material** | T766 (Thermal Interface Material pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Features #### A. Attachment Mechanism: pushPIN™ This part utilizes a "push-pin" system. This is a common mounting method in PCB design where a spring-loaded plastic or brass pin is pushed through pre-drilled holes in the motherboard/PCB. This ensures constant pressure between the heat sink and the electronic chip for maximum heat transfer. #### B. Material and Conductivity The heat sink is made from **Aluminum**, which offers a high thermal conductivity-to-weight ratio. The **Blue Anodized** finish isn't just for aesthetics; it provides surface protection against corrosion and increases emissivity for better radiant heat loss. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "R0" designation typically indicates that the part comes with **T766** pre-applied. In electronics, the TIM fills microscopic air gaps between the component (silicon) and the heat sink (metal), which is critical because air is a poor conductor of heat. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases The ATS-P2-86-C1-R0 is generally found in: * **Networking Hardware:** Routers, switches, and bridges. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs and IoT gateways. * **Power Supplies:** Cooling voltage regulators and MOSFETs. ---
