### Overview: ATS-P2-50-C2-R0 The **ATS-P2-50-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the **push-pin** attachment series designed to provide efficient cooling for electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and other integrated circuits. --- ### Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Type** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Heat Sink Type** | Straight Fin | | **Thermal Resistance** | 19.03 °C/W (Unducted @ 100 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 50mm x 50mm x 15mm | | **Number of Fins** | Varied based on pitch (Optimized for airflow) | --- ### Key Components & Design Features #### 1. Push-Pin Mounting Mechanism The "P2" in the part number indicates a specific push-pin configuration. This mechanism uses a spring-loaded plastic or brass pin that snaps into pre-drilled holes on the PCB. * **Benefits:** Ensures consistent pressure on the component for optimal heat transfer and allows for easy installation/removal. #### 2. Material and Finish * **Aluminum:** Chosen for its excellent thermal conductivity and lightweight properties. * **Blue Anodized Finish:** This is not just for aesthetics; the anodization process increases the surface emissivity and protects the aluminum from corrosion. #### 3. Thermal Performance The design utilizes a high-efficiency fin structure to maximize surface area. The thermal resistance decreases significantly as airflow (LFM - Linear Feet per Minute) increases: | Air Velocity (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | | 100 | 19.03 | | 300 | 7.10 | | 500 | 4.60 | --- ### Common Applications * **Telecommunications:** Cooling of routers and switches. * **Industrial PCs:** Thermal management for embedded processors. * **Power Supplies:** Dissipating heat from MOSFETs or voltage regulators. --- ### Part Number Breakdown `ATS - P2 - 50 - C2 - R0` * **ATS:** Manufacturer (Advanced Thermal Solutions). * **P2:** Push-pin style and spring type. * **50:** Size (50mm width/length). * **C2:** Material/Performance category. * **R0:** Revision code or specific packaging indicator. ---
