The **ATS-09F-52-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component. Specifically, it is a **Heatsink** designed for cooling integrated circuits (ICs) and other electronic components. ### 1. Technical Specifications Below is a breakdown of the key physical and thermal characteristics of this part: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions Inc. (ATS) | | **Base Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-pin (Spring-loaded) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 30.00mm x 30.00mm x 25.00mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 10.79°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | | **Fin Configuration** | Fine Pitch (Straight Fin) | --- ### 2. Design and Component Details #### A. The Heat Sink Body The "52" in the part number refers to the specific height and fin profile. It utilizes a **Fine Pitch** design, which increases the surface area available for heat dissipation. This makes it ideal for applications with limited space but high thermal output. #### B. The pushPIN™ Attachment System This part features a specialized mounting mechanism: * **Push-pins:** These are inserted through pre-drilled holes in the PCB. * **Compression Springs:** They provide precise, uniform pressure across the component (Tim/Interface) to ensure maximum heat transfer. * **Reliability:** Unlike adhesive tapes, push-pins offer a secure mechanical connection that is resistant to vibration. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The **"R0"** suffix indicates that the product comes with a **pre-applied Thermal Interface Material**. This is typically a high-performance phase-change material or thermal pad that fills microscopic air gaps between the heatsink and the chip, significantly reducing thermal resistance. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This specific heatsink is commonly found in: * **Telecommunications:** Cooling high-speed processors in routers or switches. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs where airflow might be restricted. * **Power Electronics:** Managing heat for MOSFETs or voltage regulators. ---
