The **ATS-H1-48-C2-R0** is a high-performance thermal management component, specifically a **Pin Fin Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, or power modules. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number follows a specific nomenclature used by ATS to define its physical and thermal characteristics. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Part Number** | ATS-H1-48-C2-R0 | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL-6063-T5) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Thermal Resistance** | Approx. 1.25 °C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 57.90mm x 60.96mm x 22.86mm | | **Pin Configuration** | Pin Fin (Circular or Elliptical) | --- ### 2. Electronic Application & Function While the heat sink itself does not contain circuitry, its role is critical to the reliability of the electronic system: * **Thermal Dissipation:** It increases the surface area of a hot electronic component, allowing ambient air (convection) to carry away heat more efficiently. * **Push-Pin Mounting:** The "R0" suffix usually denotes the attachment style. Push-pins provide a secure, standardized mechanical connection to the PCB, ensuring constant pressure on the thermal interface material (TIM). * **Omnidirectional Airflow:** Unlike straight-fin heat sinks, the **Pin Fin** design allows air to enter from any direction. This is ideal for electronic enclosures where airflow direction may be unpredictable or turbulent. --- ### 3. Key Components for Installation To function correctly in an electronic assembly, the ATS-H1-48-C2-R0 requires: 1. **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** A pad or paste applied between the component and the heat sink base to fill microscopic air gaps. 2. **PCB Holes:** The PCB must have pre-drilled holes matching the push-pin pitch (spacing) of this specific model. 3. **Spring Tension:** The integrated springs on the push-pins ensure the heat sink remains seated during mechanical shock or vibration. ---
