The **ATS-P1-05-C3-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It belongs to their **maxiFLOW™** series, designed specifically for cooling high-power electronic devices like CPUs, FPGAs, and GPUs. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications This part is a heat sink assembly characterized by its high-aspect-ratio fin design and specific mounting hardware. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | maxiFLOW™ | | **Thermal Resistance** | 0.96 °C/W @ 200 LFM | | **Material** | Aluminum (Black Anodized) | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Brass/Plastic) | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 40.00mm x 40.00mm x 25.00mm | --- ## 2. Key Electronic Components & Features ### A. Fin Geometry (maxiFLOW™) The "electronic" performance of this part relies on its **flared fin structure**. Unlike straight-cut heat sinks, these fins spread outward. This reduces pressure drop and increases the surface area for convection, which is critical for maintaining stable operating temperatures in high-speed integrated circuits. ### B. pushPIN™ Attachment System To ensure reliable physical and thermal contact with the PCB, the ATS-P1-05-C3-R0 uses the **pushPIN™** system. - **Spring Mechanism:** Provides a precise, calculated pressure (load) on the electronic chip to optimize heat transfer. - **Hardware:** Includes a stainless steel spring and a brass or plastic pin to lock into 3.175mm holes on the motherboard. ### C. Thermal Interface Material (T766) The part comes with **T766** phase-change material pre-applied to the base. - **Function:** It fills the microscopic air gaps between the heat sink base and the electronic component's die/package. - **Benefit:** Reduces contact resistance, which prevents localized "hot spots" that can lead to electronic failure or thermal throttling. --- ## 3. Application Use-Case This component is typically found in: * **Networking Gear:** Switches and routers where airflow is directional. * **Industrial PCs:** Where vibration resistance (provided by the pushPIN) is required. * **Power Electronics:** Cooling MOSFETs or power modules in constrained spaces. ---
