The **ATS-05D-181-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 | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Base Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded pins) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 11.95°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 40.00mm x 40.00mm x 10.00mm | | **Pitch** | Fine Pitch | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Features #### A. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The part comes with a pre-applied **T766** thermal interface material. This ensures optimal heat transfer between the electronic component (heat source) and the aluminum base of the heat sink by filling microscopic air gaps. #### B. pushPIN™ Attachment Mechanism Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, this model uses a mechanical push-pin system. - **Reliability:** Provides consistent pressure for better thermal contact. - **Serviceability:** Allows for easy removal and re-installation without damaging the PCB. - **Spring Loading:** The springs are designed to apply a specific force to ensure the sink stays seated during vibrations. #### C. Fin Design The "Fine Pitch" straight-fin design is optimized for environments with consistent airflow. It maximizes the surface area for heat to transfer from the metal to the surrounding air. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This specific part is typically found in: * **Networking Equipment:** High-speed routers and switches. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs and automation controllers. * **Power Supplies:** Cooling voltage regulators and power MOSFETs. ---
