The **ATS-H1-96-C2-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 for cooling electronic components such as processors, FPGAs, and ASICs. ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table highlights the key physical and thermal characteristics of the part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | maxiFLOW™ | | **Material** | Aluminum (Extruded) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 0.96 °C/W @ 200 LFM | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 57.00mm x 57.00mm x 25.00mm | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | --- ### 2. Key Components & Design Features The "electronic" functionality of this part is purely passive, serving as a heat exchanger to protect active circuitry from thermal failure. * **maxiFLOW™ Fin Geometry:** The fins are designed with a tapered base and a flared top. This increases the surface area for heat dissipation while reducing the pressure drop of the airflow, making it highly efficient in forced-convection environments (fans). * **pushPIN™ Attachment:** Instead of messy adhesives, this part uses a mechanical push-pin system with a pre-assembled compression spring. This ensures a consistent "clamping force" on the electronic chip, which optimizes the thermal interface. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This specific model usually comes with **SAINT-GOBAIN C700** or a similar high-performance thermal pad pre-applied to the base to ensure zero air gaps between the component and the heat sink. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This part is commonly used in high-density electronic assemblies where space is limited but heat output is high: 1. **Networking Hardware:** Switches, routers, and base stations. 2. **Power Supplies:** Cooling MOSFETs or power regulators. 3. **Industrial Computing:** Embedded systems that run under high workloads for extended periods. --- ### 4.
