Technical Specifications Below are the primary technical parameters of this specific part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (Black Anodized) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 30.00mm x 30.00mm x 20.00mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 7.28°C/W @ 200 LFM | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Brass Pins) | | **Spring Type** | Compression Spring | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | NO TIM (Standard) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic & Mechanical Features #### A. The maxiFLOW™ Design The "P2" in the part number indicates a specific fin geometry. The maxiFLOW design features a spread fin structure that increases the surface area and maximizes air intake, reducing the thermal resistance of the electronic package it is attached to. #### B. pushPIN™ Attachment System Instead of using adhesive tapes or clips, this unit uses a **pushPIN™** system: * **Secure Fit:** Ensures uniform pressure across the electronic component for maximum heat transfer. * **Reliability:** Brass pins and stainless steel springs provide a robust mechanical connection that can withstand vibration and shock. #### C. Heat Dissipation Efficiency This heat sink is optimized for "forced air" environments. Its efficiency is measured by thermal resistance: * At **100 LFM** (Linear Feet per Minute): ~11.5°C/W * At **700 LFM**: ~4.1°C/W * Lower resistance means the component stays cooler under heavy electrical loads. --- ### 3. Typical Applications In electronic circuit design, the ATS-P2-171-C1-R0 is commonly used for: * **Network Switches/Routers:** Cooling high-speed processors. * **Embedded Systems:** Managing heat in compact industrial PC enclosures. * **Power Supplies:** Dissipating heat from MOSFETs or voltage regulators. ---
