The **ATS-19F-08-C3-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)*. It belongs to the **maxiFLOW™** series, designed to dissipate heat from electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or FPGAs. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table summarizes the key physical and thermal characteristics of the part: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Heat Sink (Passive Cooling) | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded pins) | | **Material** | Aluminum (Black Anodized) | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 45mm x 45mm | | **Height** | 25mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 1.50°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Fin Style** | maxiFLOW (Tapered Fin Design) | | **Interface Material** | T412 (High Performance Thermal Pad) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Features #### A. Thermal Performance The "C3" in the part number indicates a specific thermal interface material (TIM). The pre-applied **T412 pad** ensures low thermal resistance between the semiconductor package and the aluminum base, maximizing heat transfer efficiency. #### B. The pushPIN™ Attachment System Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, this model uses a mechanical **pushPIN™** system. * **Reliability:** It provides consistent pressure (preload) for better thermal contact. * **Safety:** Prevents the heat sink from shifting during vibration or shipping. * **Installation:** Uses a brass component and a stainless steel spring for a secure fit into PCB holes. #### C. Airflow Optimization (maxiFLOW™) The fins are not standard straight bars; they feature a tapered design. This is electronically significant because it: 1. Reduces static pressure. 2. Increases the surface area for heat convection. 3. Allows for effective cooling even in environments with constrained airflow. --- ### 3. Applications This part is typically found in the following electronic systems: * **Telecommunications:** High-speed routers and switches. * **Computing:** Embedded systems and industrial PC motherboards. * **Power Electronics:** Cooling for large MOSFET arrays or power converters.
