The **ATS-P1-197-C2-R0** is a specific electronic cooling component manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It belongs to their "pushPIN™" heat sink assembly line, designed for cooling high-performance integrated circuits (ICs) and other electronic components. --- ### 1. Component Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal properties of this specific model: | Property | Value | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum (Heat Sink) / Blue Anodized (Finish) | | **Dimensions** | 45mm x 45mm x 10mm | | **Attachment Type** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 10.90°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | | **Thermal Interface Material** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Features #### A. Thermal Management Electronic parts like CPUs, FPGAs, or GPUs generate heat during operation. The ATS-P1-197-C2-R0 acts as a **passive heat exchanger**, increasing the surface area of the component to dissipate heat into the surrounding air. This prevents "thermal throttling" or hardware failure. #### B. pushPIN™ Attachment System Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, this part uses a mechanical fastening system: - **Spring-loaded pins:** These provide a precise "pull-force" to ensure the heat sink is pressed firmly against the electronic chip. - **Consistent Pressure:** This ensures maximum contact with the silicon die for efficient heat transfer. #### C. Pre-applied Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The base of the part comes with **T766** thermal grease already applied. This fills microscopic air gaps between the electronic component and the aluminum surface, significantly improving thermal conductivity. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This part is typically found in the following electronic environments: * **Networking Gear:** Switches and routers where airflow is controlled. * **Industrial PCs:** Compact systems requiring low-profile cooling (10mm height). * **Embedded Systems:** Motherboards where space around the processor is limited. ---
