The **ATS-P2-182-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 components like CPUs, GPUs, or high-power semiconductors. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number defines the physical and thermal characteristics of the unit: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions Inc. | | **Series** | pushPIN™ HS | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 40.00mm x 40.00mm x 15.00mm | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic or Brass) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 7.51°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Fin Type** | Fine-Pitch (Cross-Cut) | --- ### 2. Key Features and Design This component is engineered for specific airflow environments: * **Cross-Cut Fin Design:** The "Fine-Pitch" pattern increases the surface area available for heat exchange. The gaps between the fins allow for multi-directional airflow, making it versatile for different system layouts. * **pushPIN™ Attachment:** It utilizes a standardized mounting system. The "P2" in the part number indicates a specific hole pattern and spring force, ensuring consistent pressure on the component for optimal thermal contact. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This specific model typically comes pre-applied with high-performance thermal grease (often T766) to ensure there are no air gaps between the heat sink and the chip. --- ### 3. Applications The ATS-P2-182-C2-R0 is commonly found in: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling of high-speed network switches and routers. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs where space is limited but thermal loads are high. 3. **Power Electronics:** Dissipating heat from MOSFETs or voltage regulators. --- ### 4. Thermal Performance Comparison Thermal performance varies based on the Air Velocity (LFM - Linear Feet per Minute): | Air Velocity (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | | 100 (0.5 m/s) | 7.51 | | 300 (1.5 m/s) | 3.98 | | 500 (2.5 m/s) | 3.12 | | 700 (3.5 m/s) | 2.70 |
