The **ATS-P1-89-C1-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is designed to dissipate heat from integrated circuits (ICs) and other electronic components to prevent thermal throttling or hardware failure. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number follows a specific nomenclature used by ATS to define the dimensions, fin style, and material properties. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Heat Sink Type** | Push-Pin (Straight Fin) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 35.00mm x 35.00mm x 20.00mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 3.63°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Attachment Method** | Plastic Push-Pin with Brass Springs | | **Interface Material** | T766 (Thermal Interface Material pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Physical Design & Composition The "electronic parts" of this assembly are categorized into three functional layers: #### A. The Heat Sink Body (The Radiator) The body is made of **Aluminum 6063**, chosen for its excellent thermal conductivity and lightweight properties. The "Straight Fin" design allows for maximum airflow through the sink, which is ideal for systems with directed forced-air cooling (fans). #### B. The Attachment Mechanism (Push-Pins) Instead of using messy adhesives or thermal tape, this part uses a **Push-Pin and Spring** system. - **Push-Pins:** Usually made of durable plastic (nylon). - **Springs:** Brass or stainless steel, designed to provide consistent downward pressure (clamping force) on the processor, ensuring maximum contact with the thermal interface. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The base of the unit comes pre-applied with **T766**. This is a phase-change or high-performance thermal grease that fills the microscopic air gaps between the heat sink and the electronic chip, significantly reducing thermal resistance. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This specific heat sink is typically found in the following electronic environments: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling of high-speed networking chips and ASICs. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Thermal management for industrial motherboards. 3. **Power Electronics:** Managing heat for MOSFETs or power regulators in compact enclosures. --- ### 4. Part Number Breakdown The suffix codes provide detail on the specific build: * **89:** Denotes the specific size and fin geometry within the "maxiFLOW" or "straight fin" series. * **C1:** Indicates the color/finish (Blue Anodized). * **R0:** Refers to the revision or RoHS compliance status.
