The **ATS-11B-23-C2-R0** is a specific electronic component manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is a high-performance heat sink designed for cooling electronic components, typically integrated circuits (ICs) or microprocessors. ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number follows a specific nomenclature used by ATS to define the dimensions, fin style, and attachment method. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Heat Sink | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Fin Style** | Straight (optimized for airflow) | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (R0 variant) | | **Thermal Resistance** | Variable based on Airflow (LFM) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | --- ### 2. Physical Dimensions Heat sinks are defined by their footprint and height. For this specific model: * **Length:** 60.00 mm * **Width:** 60.00 mm * **Height:** 15.00 mm * **Pitch (Distance between holes):** 53.00 mm --- ### 3. Key Electronic Cooling Characteristics This part is engineered for **Convective Cooling**. Below are the electronic design considerations for this component: * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This part usually comes with **T766** pre-applied. This is a phase-change material that fills microscopic air gaps between the heat sink and the electronic chip to improve heat transfer. * **Attachment Mechanism:** The "Push-Pin" system uses a brass or plastic pin with a compressed spring. This ensures constant **pressure** on the component, which is vital for maintaining thermal contact under vibration or thermal expansion. * **Flow Optimization:** The straight fin design is intended for systems with a defined directional airflow (e.g., server racks or desktop cases). --- ### 4. Application Use Cases This component is typically found in: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling for high-speed routers and switches. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs where passive or active airflow is present. 3. **Power Electronics:** Dissipating heat from MOSFET arrays or Voltage Regulator Modules (VRMs).
