The **ATS-P2-97-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™** product series, known for its unique flared fin geometry. --- ### 1. Key Technical Specifications | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Part Number** | ATS-P2-97-C1-R0 | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ | | **Thermal Resistance** | 20.30 °C/W (Unducted Flow @ 200 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45mm x 45mm x 10mm | | **Compliance** | RoHS-6 and REACH compliant | --- ### 2. Design Features #### A. flared Fin Geometry The standout feature of the `maxiFLOW™` design is the outward-flared fins. This increases the surface area for heat dissipation and reduces the pressure drop, allowing for better airflow across the component compared to standard straight-fin heat sinks. #### B. pushPIN™ Attachment Instead of using messy thermal adhesives or tapes, this model uses a **pushPIN™** system. * **Hardware:** It typically includes a brass or plastic pin with a stainless steel spring. * **Installation:** It requires pre-drilled holes in the PCB. This ensures a consistent, high-pressure contact between the heat sink and the electronic component (CPU, GPU, or FPGA), maximizing thermal transfer. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "C1" in the part number indicates the type of Thermal Interface Material pre-applied to the base. * **Material:** Generally an **ATS-PPS-01** (or similar high-performance phase-change material). * **Benefit:** This ensures there are no air gaps between the heat source and the aluminum base. --- ### 3. Electronic Applications This specific heat sink is designed for low-profile applications where vertical space is limited (10mm height) but high thermal efficiency is required. Common use cases include: 1. **Telecommunications:** Network switches and high-speed routers. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs and automation controllers. 3. **Power Electronics:** Voltage regulators and power modules that generate concentrated heat. ---
