The **ATS-10B-66-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a heat sink designed by *Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)*. It belongs to the **maxiFLOW™** series, which is optimized for high-velocity airflow environments. ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of this specific part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Part Number** | ATS-10B-66-C2-R0 | | **Material** | Aluminum (Anodized Blue) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45mm x 45mm x 35mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 1.33°C/W @ 200 LFM | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ | | **Fin Style** | Tapered Fin (maxiFLOW™) | | **Pressure Spring** | Stainless Steel / Brass | --- ### 2. Key Electronic & Mechanical Components The "electronic" functionality of this part is passive, meaning it does not require power to operate but is critical for the survival of active silicon components (CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs). #### A. The maxiFLOW™ Heat Sink Body The body uses a flared fin design. This geometry is engineered to: * Maximize surface area for radiant and convective cooling. * Reduce the "pressure drop" across the heat sink, allowing air to move more freely through the fins. #### B. pushPIN™ Attachment System Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, the `-R0` suffix indicates a mechanical attachment system. This includes: * **Compression Springs:** Provide precise vertical pressure (Pre-load) to ensure the thermal interface material (TIM) is fully compressed. * **Push Pins:** Durable plastic or metal pins that snap into pre-drilled holes on the PCB (Printed Circuit Board). #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "C2" in the part number typically refers to the thermal interface material pre-applied to the base: * **Type:** T766 or similar high-performance thermal phase-change material. * **Purpose:** To eliminate microscopic air gaps between the electronic component (die/lid) and the aluminum heat sink, ensuring maximum heat transfer. --- ### 3. Applications This part is commonly used in high-density electronic environments such as: 1. **Telecommunications:** High-speed routers and switches. 2. **Server Technology:** Cooling for voltage regulator modules (VRMs) or secondary processors. 3. **Industrial Controls:** High-power motor drivers or IGBT modules.
