Technical Specifications The part number provides specific details about the geometry, material, and thermal interface. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Part Family** | maxiFLOW™ | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded pins) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 40mm x 40mm x 25mm | | **Fin Style** | Pin Fin (Circular/Tapered) | | **Thermal Resistance** | ~5.23°C/W (at 200 LFM) | --- ## 2. Key Components & Design Features ### A. Pin Fin Geometry Unlike traditional straight-fin heat sinks, the "Pin Fin" design uses vertical columns. This offers several electronic cooling advantages: * **Omnidirectional Airflow:** Heat can be dissipated effectively regardless of which direction the fan is blowing. * **Increased Surface Area:** Maximizes the contact area between the metal and the surrounding air. * **Reduced Pressure Drop:** Allows air to flow through the pins more easily, reducing the load on system fans. ### B. pushPIN™ Attachment This part utilizes a mechanical attachment system rather than adhesive tape. * **Reliability:** Uses a brass or plastic pin with a stainless steel spring. * **Contact Pressure:** Ensures consistent downward force on the electronic component (IC), which optimizes the performance of the Thermal Interface Material (TIM). ### C. Material and Coating * **Aluminum 6063:** Provides a high thermal conductivity-to-weight ratio. * **Blue Anodized Finish:** Not only provides a professional aesthetic but also increases "emissivity," slightly improving radiant heat transfer and providing corrosion resistance. --- ## 3. Electronic Application Use-Cases The ATS-10F-130-C2-R0 is typically found in the following electronic environments: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling high-speed processors in routers and switches. 2. **Embedded Computing:** Protecting industrial PCs from thermal throttling. 3. **Power Electronics:** Managing heat for large MOSFET arrays or power converters. ---
