The **ATS-11B-10-C2-R0** is a specific part number for a high-performance **Heatsink** manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It belongs to the **maxiFLOW™** series, designed to provide superior cooling for electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or FPGAs. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number encodes specific physical and thermal characteristics. Here is the breakdown: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | maxiFLOW™ | | **Dimensions** | 37.00mm x 37.00mm | | **Height** | 10.00mm | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Material** | Aluminum (Black Anodized) | | **Thermal Resistance** | ~6.40°C/W (at 200 LFM) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic & Mechanical Components The "Electronic Parts" aspect of this assembly actually refers to the thermal management hardware used to protect sensitive semiconductors: #### A. The Heatsink Body (maxiFLOW™ Design) * **Fin Geometry:** It uses a "flared fin" design. Unlike standard straight fins, these spread outward to increase the surface area and improve airflow intake from the surrounding environment. * **Material:** Made of high-thermal-conductivity aluminum to quickly draw heat away from the silicon die. #### B. The pushPIN™ Attachment System This assembly includes a specialized mounting mechanism: * **Springs:** Provides a precise "Pre-load" force to ensure the heatsink is pressed firmly against the electronic component. * **Plastic/Brass Pins:** These snap into pre-drilled holes on the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) for a secure, vibration-resistant fit. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) * **Phase Change Material:** The "-R0" suffix often indicates that the unit comes with a pre-applied high-performance thermal pad or grease. This fills the microscopic air gaps between the chip and the heatsink to facilitate heat transfer. --- ### 3. Applications This part is commonly used in hardware environments where space is limited but heat output is high: * **Networking:** Switches, routers, and base stations. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs and automation controllers. * **Telecommunications:** High-speed data processing units. ---
