The **ATS-05B-41-C3-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 transistors. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number follows a specific nomenclature that defines its physical and thermal characteristics. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 25.00mm x 25.00mm x 30.00mm | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded pins) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 10.10°C/W (Natural Convection) | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | | **Pressure Drop** | High-efficiency airflow design | --- ### 2. Core Electronic/Mechanical Features #### A. pushPIN™ Attachment System Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, this model uses a **pushPIN™** system. This involves a set of brass or plastic pins and a stainless steel spring. * **Benefits:** Ensures precise, high-pressure contact with the component (TIM - Thermal Interface Material), which optimizes heat transfer. * **Reliability:** It is more vibration-resistant than tape and easier to install/remove during maintenance. #### B. Blue Anodized Finish The blue coating is not just for aesthetics. Anodizing creates an oxide layer that: * Increases **emissivity**, allowing the heat sink to radiate heat more effectively into the surrounding air. * Provides **corrosion resistance** and surface hardening. * Acts as a light **electrical insulator**, preventing accidental shorts if a metal object touches the sink. #### C. Thermal Performance The unit is categorized as a **High-Performance** heat sink. With a height of 30mm, it is designed for vertical clearance in systems where air is forced through the chassis. --- ### 3. Application Examples This specific size and mounting style are typically found in: 1. **Telecommunications Equipment:** For cooling small processors on PCBs. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs where mechanical stability is required. 3. **Power Electronics:** Cooling MOSFETs or Voltage Regulators that generate localized heat. ---
