The **ATS-19B-33-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically an **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) Push-Pin Heat Sink**. It is designed to cool electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or FPGAs by increasing the surface area for heat dissipation. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number follows a specific nomenclature that defines its physical and thermal characteristics. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ Heat Sink | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic or Brass) | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Thermal Resistance** | 17.42 °C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Dimensions** | 35.00mm x 35.00mm | | **Height** | 20.00mm | --- ### 2. Breakdown of the Part Number Understanding the coding helps in identifying the specific configuration: * **ATS-19B**: The base model and series identification. * **33**: Refers to the specific fin pattern and spacing. * **C2**: Indicates the thermal interface material (TIM) applied. `C2` typically refers to **ATS-PPS-07**, a high-performance phase-change material or thermal grease. * **R0**: Refers to the revision code and packaging style. --- ### 3. Key Electronic Components & Features #### A. Fin Design (Mini-Fan/Straight Fin) The unit features a high-efficiency fin structure. In the `pushPIN` series, these are often designed to work in "ducted" or "open" airflow environments to maximize heat transfer from the semiconductor junction to the ambient air. #### B. Push-Pin Attachment Instead of using messy adhesives or permanent solder, this part uses a mechanical push-pin system. * **Spring-loaded:** Ensures constant pressure (Contact Pressure) between the heat sink and the component. * **Reliability:** Prevents the heat sink from shifting during vibration or shipping. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "C2" designation means the part comes with a **Pre-applied Thermal Interface Material**. This is a critical "electronic" layer that fills microscopic air gaps between the heat sink base and the chip surface, significantly lowering thermal resistance. --- ### 4. Application Use Cases This specific heat sink is typically found in: * **Telecommunications:** Cooling network switches and routers. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs and automation controllers. * **Power Supplies:** Cooling MOSFETs or power regulators that generate significant waste heat. ---
