The **ATS-19G-159-C2-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 electronic integrated circuits (ICs) to prevent thermal throttling or hardware failure. --- ### 1. Key Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Part Number** | ATS-19G-159-C2-R0 | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions** | 45mm x 45mm x 10mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight (Fine Pitch) | | **Thermal Resistance** | ~10.71°C/W (at 100 LFM) | --- ### 2. Component Breakdown #### A. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "C2" in the part number indicates that the heat sink comes pre-applied with **ATS-PPS-02** thermal interface material. This is a high-performance phase-change material or grease that fills microscopic air gaps between the CPU/GPU and the heat sink base to maximize heat transfer. #### B. pushPIN™ Mounting System Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, this model uses a mechanical **pushPIN™** system. This provides: * **Constant Pressure:** Ensures optimal contact between the heat sink and the component. * **Reliability:** Resistant to vibration and thermal cycling compared to thermal tape. * **Ease of Installation:** Uses a flexible attachment tool for quick assembly on PCBs. #### C. Fin Design and Airflow The unit features a low-profile (10mm height) design with a fine-pitch fin pattern. This is optimized for **forced air cooling** (environments with fans) rather than natural convection. The aluminum 6063 alloy provides a high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent thermal conductivity. --- ### 3. Applications This specific part is typically used in space-constrained electronic environments, such as: * **Network Switches/Routers:** Cooling ASICs and Processors. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs where vertical space is limited. * **Power Supplies:** Cooling MOSFETs or voltage regulators.
