The **ATS-53330D-C1-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the "maxiFLOW™" series, designed specifically for cooling electronic components like processors, FPGAs, and ASICs in high-airflow environments. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table summarizes the primary physical and thermal characteristics of the device: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Part Number** | ATS-53330D-C1-R0 | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum (Body), Copper (Optional Base) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 33.00mm x 33.00mm x 9.50mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 8.00°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Flow Direction** | Directional / maxiFLOW™ | --- ### 2. Key Electronic & Mechanical Components #### A. The Heat Sink Body (maxiFLOW™ Design) The heat sink features a unique **tapered fin design** (maxiFLOW™). Unlike standard straight-fin heat sinks, this geometry: * Maximizes surface area for heat dissipation. * Reduces pressure drop, allowing air to move more freely through the fins. * Is optimized for **forced air cooling** (fans or server chassis airflow). #### B. The pushPIN™ Attachment System This part uses a specific mechanical interface to connect to the Printed Circuit Board (PCB): * **Spring-loaded Pins:** It utilizes a pushPIN™ system with a flexible spring to provide consistent pressure (Pre-assembled). * **Reliability:** This ensures the thermal interface material (TIM) is compressed evenly, preventing air gaps between the chip and the metal. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "C1" in the part number usually indicates the type of thermal material pre-applied to the base: * **Phase Change Material (PCM) or Thermal Tape:** It comes with a high-performance thermal interface to ensure low thermal resistance between the electronic component and the aluminum base. --- ### 3. Applications This specific size (33mm) is commonly used for cooling the following electronic parts: 1. **Network Processors:** High-speed data chips in routers and switches. 2. **FPGAs/CPLDs:** Programmable logic devices that generate significant heat during operation. 3. **Video Memory:** High-bandwidth memory modules on industrial controller boards. --- ### 4. Code Representation (Thermal Modeling Context) If you were to define this part in a thermal simulation script (like Python), it might look like this: ```python ats_heatsink = { "model": "ATS-53330D-C1-R0", "dimensions_mm": [33.0, 33.0, 9.5], "material": "Aluminum", "attachment": "pushPIN", "thermal_resistance_lfm": { "200": 8.0, "400": 4.5, "600": 3.8 } } ```
