The **ATS-19H-08-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. (ATS)*. It is part of the "pushPIN™" component series designed for efficient cooling of integrated circuits (ICs) and other PCB components. --- ## Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal properties of the device: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Part Number** | ATS-19H-08-C2-R0 | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Fin Style** | Fine-Pitch | | **Fin Pattern** | XCUT (Cross-cut) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 14.61 °C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45mm x 45mm x 15mm | | **TIM (Interface Material)** | T766 (High-performance thermal grease) | --- ## Key Features ### 1. XCUT Fin Design The heat sink features a cross-cut (XCUT) fin geometry. This design is optimized for **omni-directional airflow**, meaning it can receive cooling air from any direction, making it ideal for systems with complex or turbulent internal air currents. ### 2. pushPIN™ Attachment Mechanism Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, this model uses a mechanical attachment system: * **Precision Springs:** Ensures consistent pressure (clamping force) across the component for maximum heat transfer. * **Plastic/Brass Push Pins:** Designed to snap into pre-drilled holes in the PCB (Printed Circuit Board). * **Reliability:** Reduces the risk of the heat sink falling off due to vibration or thermal expansion. ### 3. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "C2" in the part number indicates that the heat sink comes pre-applied with **ATS-T766 thermal grease**. This eliminates the need for manual application and ensures a high-quality thermal bond between the chip and the aluminum base. --- ## Application Use Cases * **Processors (CPUs/GPUs):** Cooling small to medium-sized processors. * **ASICs and FPGAs:** Ideal for high-speed logic devices that generate significant localized heat. * **Telecom Equipment:** Used in routers and switches where directional airflow is inconsistent. * **Power Supplies:** Cooling voltage regulators or power transistors.
