The **ATS-19B-100-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is part of the "maxiFLOW™" series, designed to maximize airflow and thermal dissipation for electronic components. --- ## Technical Specifications | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Part Number** | ATS-19B-100-C2-R0 | | **Heat Sink Type** | maxiFLOW™ | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded pins) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 40.00mm x 40.00mm x 25.00mm | | **Thermal Resistance (LFM 200)** | 1.90 °C/W | --- ## Electronic & Physical Components The device consists of three primary subsystems that work together to protect sensitive electronic components (like CPUs, FPGAs, or GPUs) from overheating: ### 1. The Fin Structure (maxiFLOW™) The "electronic" functionality of this part is passive. It utilizes a **spread-fin pattern**. Unlike traditional straight-fin heat sinks, the maxiFLOW design reduces pressure drop and increases the surface area exposed to moving air, which is critical for high-density PCB layouts. ### 2. The Attachment Mechanism (pushPIN™) To ensure reliable contact with the electronic component, this part uses the **pushPIN™** system: * **Springs:** Provide a precise, consistent compression force (pressure) to ensure the thermal interface material (TIM) fills all microscopic gaps. * **Pins:** Designed to fit into pre-drilled holes on the PCB (usually 3.175mm holes). ### 3. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "C2" in the part number indicates the pre-applied thermal material. * **Type:** T766 phase-change material or high-performance grease. * **Function:** It eliminates air gaps between the heat sink base and the electronic chip, facilitating the efficient transfer of heat via conduction. --- ## Applications in Electronics This specific heat sink is typically found in the following electronic environments: * **Telecommunications:** Cooling high-speed data processors. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs where space is limited but heat output is high. * **Power Supplies:** Cooling MOSFETs or power transistors.
