The **ATS-P2-175-C2-R0** is a specific electronic component manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of their **pushPIN™** heat sink series, designed for high-performance cooling of electronic components such as CPUs, GPUs, and other integrated circuits. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number provides specific details about the dimensions, thermal performance, and attachment method. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Heat Sink Type** | pushPIN™ Heat Sink | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 35.00mm x 35.00mm x 10.00mm | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Spring-loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 13.52°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | --- ### 2. Physical Design and Features The design focuses on maximizing surface area while maintaining a low profile for space-constrained PCB layouts. * **Fin Style:** It utilizes a **Fine Pitch** straight fin design. This is optimized for forced air cooling (fan-driven) where airflow can easily pass through the channels. * **Attachment:** The `C2` in the part number refers to the attachment kit. It uses a **push-pin and spring** mechanism. This ensures constant pressure between the heat sink and the chip, improving thermal transfer. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This specific model typically comes with a pre-applied **T766** phase-change material or a high-performance thermal tape/grease to reduce air gaps between the heat sink and the component. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This component is commonly used in the following electronic systems: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling of high-speed network processors and switches. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs or controllers where space is at a premium. 3. **Power Electronics:** Dissipating heat from MOSFETs or voltage regulators. 4. **Consumer Electronics:** High-performance gaming consoles or small form-factor PCs. --- ### 4.
