The **ATS-P1-124-C3-R0** is a specific part number for a high-performance **Heatsink** manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of their "push-pin" series designed for cooling electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or high-power transistors on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the physical and thermal characteristics of this specific component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Thermal Resistance** | 3.25°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 50mm x 50mm x 25mm | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T412 (Pre-applied) | | **Fins** | Straight Fin Pattern | --- ### 2. Detailed Component Breakdown #### A. Thermal Performance The "C3" in the part number indicates a specific thermal profile. This heatsink is designed for **forced air convection**. * **Low Airflow:** At 200 LFM (Linear Feet per Minute), it provides a resistance of ~3.25°C/W. * **High Airflow:** At 800 LFM, the resistance drops significantly to ~1.42°C/W, allowing for much more efficient heat dissipation. #### B. Attachment System (Push-Pins) Unlike adhesive-based heatsinks, the **ATS-P1-124-C3-R0** uses a mechanical push-pin system. * **Spring-loaded:** The pins are equipped with springs to provide consistent downward pressure on the electronic chip, ensuring maximum contact with the thermal interface material. * **Reliability:** Mechanical mounting is preferred in high-vibration environments where adhesive tapes might fail. #### C. Material and Coating * **Aluminum:** Chosen for its excellent weight-to-thermal-conductivity ratio. * **Blue Anodizing:** This isn't just for aesthetics; anodizing increases the surface emissivity, which slightly improves radiative cooling and provides a protective layer against corrosion. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This part is typically used in the following electronic sectors: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling high-speed network switches and routers. 2. **Industrial PC (IPC):** Thermal management for embedded processors. 3. **Power Electronics:** Dissipating heat from large MOSFET arrays or power modules. ---
