The **ATS-05D-184-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is part of the "pushPIN™" series designed for efficient cooling of integrated circuits (ICs) and other electronic packages. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal properties of this specific model: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 40.0 mm x 40.0 mm x 25.0 mm | | **Fin Type** | Straight Fin | | **Thermal Resistance (Flowing)** | 1.50 °C/W (@ 200 LFM) | | **Thermal Resistance (Static)** | 4.14 °C/W | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | --- ### 2. Key Component Features #### A. pushPIN™ Attachment System Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, this part uses a mechanical **pushPIN™** system. This provides: * **Constant Pressure:** A precise spring-loaded mechanism ensures uniform contact between the heat sink and the heat source. * **Ease of Install:** No need for messy glues; it requires pre-drilled holes in the PCB. * **Vibration Resistance:** The mechanical lock prevents the heat sink from shifting during transport or operation. #### B. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) This specific part number (C2 suffix) typically comes pre-applied with **T766** phase-change material. This eliminates the need for manual thermal paste application, ensuring optimal heat transfer from the chip to the aluminum fins. #### C. Straight Fin Design The "Straight Fin" geometry is optimized for **forced air cooling** (active airflow from a fan). The gaps between the fins allow air to flow through the length of the sink, stripping away heat through convection. --- ### 3.
