The **ATS-P2-46-C3-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of their "pushPIN™" series, designed for cooling integrated circuits (ICs) like CPUs, GPUs, and other surface-mount components. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table summarizes the primary physical and thermal characteristics of the part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Type** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded attachment) | | **Heat Sink Shape** | Square, Fine Pitch (Straight Fin) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 11.87 °C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Power Dissipation** | Designed for high-heat density components | --- ### 2. Physical Dimensions Precise measurements are critical for PCB layout and clearance planning. | Dimension | Value (mm) | | :--- | :--- | | **Length (A)** | 45.00 mm | | **Width (B)** | 45.00 mm | | **Height (C)** | 25.00 mm | | **Hole Spacing (E)** | 38.00 mm | | **Hole Spacing (F)** | 38.00 mm | --- ### 3. Key Electronic & Mechanical Features * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This specific model typically comes with **T766** pre-applied. This is a high-performance phase-change material or thermal grease that ensures maximum heat transfer between the electronic component and the aluminum base. * **Attachment Mechanism:** It utilizes the **pushPIN™** system. This consists of a brass or plastic pin and a compression spring. * **Benefit:** Provides consistent pressure (clamping force) on the chip, which improves thermal conductivity compared to adhesive tapes. * **Fin Design:** It features a **Straight Fin** pattern. This is optimized for "forced air" cooling (where a fan is blowing across the PCB). * **Material Properties:** The AL6063 aluminum alloy provides a high thermal conductivity-to-weight ratio, ensuring the part doesn't add excessive mechanical stress to the PCB. --- ### 4. Typical Applications The ATS-P2-46-C3-R0 is commonly used in: * **Telecommunications:** Network switches and routers. * **Industrial PC:** Embedded controllers and automation hardware. * **Computing:** High-speed memory modules or secondary chipsets on motherboards. ---
