The **ATS-H1-86-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is part of their "maxiFLOW™" series, designed to dissipate heat from electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, or power transistors. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of the part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum (with Blue Anodized finish) | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ | | **Thermal Resistance** | 2.50°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 36.83mm x 46.45mm x 14.50mm | | **Fin Style** | maxiFLOW (Tapered Fin) | | **RoHS Status** | Compliant | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Components Features #### A. maxiFLOW™ Fin Design Unlike standard straight-fin heat sinks, the ATS-H1-86-C2-R0 uses a **tapered fin design**. This architecture increases the surface area for heat dissipation while minimizing the pressure drop. This is critical in electronics where airflow is restricted by other components on the PCB. #### B. pushPIN™ Attachment This part features a **pushPIN™ mounting system**. In electronic assembly, this offers several advantages: * **Constant Pressure:** Ensures the heat sink maintains firm contact with the electronic chip, maximizing thermal transfer through the interface material. * **Easy Installation:** Features a flexible "spring" mechanism that prevents over-tightening, which could crack a delicate silicon die. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "R0" suffix usually indicates that the part comes pre-applied with a high-performance thermal interface material. This fills the microscopic air gaps between the heat sink and the electronic component to ensure efficient heat conductivity. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This specific heat sink is typically used in the following electronic environments: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling chips in routers and switches where high airflow is present. 2. **Industrial Computing:** Protecting processors in fanless or high-density server racks. 3. **Power Electronics:** Managing heat for high-voltage regulators or motor drivers. ---
