The **ATS-P1-28-C3-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 to dissipate heat from electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications The following table highlights the critical mechanical and thermal properties of the component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum (Anodized Blue) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 40mm x 40mm x 25mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 2.91°C/W @ 200 LFM | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Fin Style** | Tapered / maxiFLOW | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T412 (Pre-applied) | --- ## 2. Key Electronic Functions While the heat sink itself does not carry an electrical current, its role is vital for the electronic stability of the system: ### A. Thermal Dissipation The "maxiFLOW" design features a high-aspect-ratio fin structure that increases surface area. This allows the electronic component underneath to stay within its **Operating Temperature Range**, preventing thermal throttling or permanent silicon damage. ### B. pushPIN™ Attachment This model uses a specific mechanical attachment system: * **Compression Springs:** Ensure even pressure across the surface of the electronic chip. * **Brass Bolts:** Provide a secure mechanical lock to the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) via pre-drilled holes. ### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The part comes with **T412**, a phase-change material. When the electronic part heats up, the TIM softens to fill microscopic air gaps between the chip die and the aluminum base, significantly improving heat transfer efficiency. --- ## 3.
