Breakdown of the Part Number The part number follows a specific nomenclature used by ATS to identify the physical and thermal characteristics: * **ATS**: Manufacturer (Advanced Thermal Solutions). * **17G**: Series/Family identifier. * **33**: Specific size code (corresponds to the 35mm footprint). * **C2**: Thermal Performance/Material Grade (Blue Anodized AL6063). * **R0**: Revision or standard packaging code. --- ### 3. Key Electronic Components Features #### A. Thermal Performance The "Fine-Pitch" design increases the surface area available for heat dissipation. This makes it ideal for cooling high-performance processors (CPUs), ASICs, or FPGAs where space is limited but heat generation is high. #### B. PushPIN™ Attachment System Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, this part uses a mechanical PushPIN™ system: * **Spring-loaded mechanism:** Ensures consistent pressure across the interface material (TIM). * **Reliability:** Prevents the heat sink from shifting during vibration or shipping. * **Easy Installation:** Requires pre-drilled holes in the PCB. #### C. Environmental Resistance The **Blue Anodized finish** is not just for aesthetics; it provides: * Corrosion resistance. * Increased surface emissivity (improving radiative heat transfer). * Electrical insulation of the aluminum surface. --- ### 4. Application Usage This part is typically found in: * **Networking Equipment:** Routers and switches. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs and controllers. * **Power Supplies:** High-density DC-DC converters. ---
