Key Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of this specific part number: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded pins) | | **Dimensions** | 45mm x 45mm x 25mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 7.29°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | | **Compliance** | RoHS Compliant | --- ### 2. Component Design Breakdown #### A. The pushPIN™ Attachment System One of the defining "electronic parts" of this assembly is the mounting hardware. Unlike adhesive tapes, the **pushPIN™** system uses: * **Plastic/Brass Pins:** To secure the sink through pre-drilled holes in the PCB. * **Compression Springs:** These ensure a precise and consistent pressure (Total Force) is applied to the electronic chip, maximizing thermal transfer without cracking the silicon die. #### B. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "C2" designation typically refers to the **T766 thermal phase-change material** or a high-performance thermal pad pre-applied to the base. This acts as the bridge between the electronic component and the aluminum fins, filling microscopic air gaps. #### C. Fin Geometry * **Cross-Cut/Straight Fin:** The "65" in the part number identifies a specific fin configuration. The straight fin design is optimized for **undirected airflow**, allowing air to move through the sink from multiple angles, which is common in dense server or networking enclosures. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This part is commonly integrated into the following electronic systems: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling line cards and signal processors. 2. **Embedded Computing:** High-heat industrial PCs. 3. **Power Electronics:** Dissipating heat from MOSFET arrays or voltage regulators. --- ### 4. Part Number Decoder Understanding the "Electronic DNA" of the part: * **ATS:** Advanced Thermal Solutions (Brand). * **19E:** Series/Family type. * **65:** Specific fin count/spacing configuration. * **C2:** Thermal Interface Material (TIM) type and color code. * **R0:** Revision status.
