The **ATS-05D-124-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 power transistors to prevent thermal throttling or hardware failure. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the mechanical and thermal properties of this specific part number: | Property | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions Inc. (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 50.00mm x 50.00mm x 25.00mm | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Steel) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 3.28°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | | **Fin Configuration** | Fine Pitch (Cross-Cut) | --- ### 2. Breakdown of the Part Number The part number follows a specific nomenclature used by ATS to identify the cooling characteristics: * **ATS**: Manufacturer (Advanced Thermal Solutions). * **05**: Represents the specific series/attachment type. * **D**: Material/Manufacturing designation. * **124**: Internal sizing/dimension code. * **C2**: Indicates the Thermal Interface Material (TIM) and color (Blue Anodized). * **R0**: Version/Revision code. --- ### 3. Key Electronic Functions While the heat sink itself is passive (it has no electronic circuits), its role in an electronic system is critical: 1. **Thermal Dissipation**: It increases the surface area of the heat source, allowing air (convection) to carry heat away more efficiently. 2. **Push-Pin Attachment**: This model uses a spring-loaded push-pin mechanism. This ensures a consistent pressure (compression) on the electronic chip, which is vital for the **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** to work effectively. 3. **Cross-Cut Fin Design**: The "Fine Pitch" design is optimized for environments where there is forced air (fans), allowing the air to move through the fins from multiple directions. --- ### 4. Application Examples This specific size (50mm) is commonly found in: * **Networking Equipment**: Switches and Routers. * **Industrial Power Supplies**: Cooling MOSFETs or IGBTs. * **Embedded Systems**: High-speed processors on PCB boards.
