The **ATS-10B-32-C2-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 to maximize cooling efficiency in constrained airflow environments. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number encodes specific physical and thermal characteristics: | Attribute | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | maxiFLOW™ | | **Material** | Aluminum (Anodized Blue) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 36.9mm x 41.2mm x 14.5mm | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 3.17°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **TIM (Thermal Interface Material)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic & Mechanical Parts #### A. The Heat Sink Body (maxiFLOW™ Design) The core component is the aluminum body. Unlike standard extruded sinks, the maxiFLOW™ profile features a **flared fin structure**. * **Function:** Increases the surface area for heat dissipation while reducing the "pressure drop" (air resistance). This allows air to move more freely through the fins, cooling the electronic component (CPU, FPGA, or GPU) underneath. #### B. pushPIN™ Attachment System This model utilizes a mechanical fastening system rather than adhesive tape. * **Spring-loaded Pins:** These ensure a constant, specific pressure (clamping force) between the heat sink and the electronic chip. * **Reliability:** This prevents the heat sink from shifting during vibration or shipping, which is critical for industrial or telecommunications hardware. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "C2" in the part number indicates the presence of **T766 phase-change material**. * **Function:** This is a pre-applied pad on the base of the heat sink. When the electronic part heats up, the material softens to fill microscopic air gaps between the chip and the metal, significantly improving heat transfer efficiency. --- ### 3. Common Applications This specific part is typically found in the following electronic assemblies: 1. **Networking Hardware:** Switches, routers, and high-speed modems. 2. **Embedded Computing:** Industrial PC processors and SoCs (System on Chips). 3. **Power Electronics:** Voltage regulators and high-current power modules that generate significant localized heat. ---
