The **ATS-05D-76-C3-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically an **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) push-pin heat sink**. It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic integrated circuits (ICs) like CPUs, GPUs, or FPGAs. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number encodes specific physical and thermal characteristics: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Heat Sink | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Brass) | | **Spring Type** | Compression Spring | | **Thermal Resistance** | 11.84°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 25mm x 25mm x 10mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | --- ### 2. Physical Design & Construction * **Heat Sink Body:** Manufactured from high-grade aluminum for optimal thermal conductivity. The "Straight Fin" design allows for low-pressure drop and is ideal for high-velocity airflow environments. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This specific model typically comes with **T412** pre-applied. T412 is a high-performance thermal tape or pad that ensures air gaps between the chip and the heat sink are filled, maximizing heat transfer. * **Push-Pin Mechanism:** Features a brass push-pin with a compression spring. This provides a precise, consistent mounting force (pressure), which is critical for maintaining contact with the electronic component while preventing board damage. --- ### 3. Thermal Performance Matrix The efficiency of this part depends heavily on the airflow (measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM): | Airflow (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | | 100 (0.5 m/s) | 16.00 | | 200 (1.0 m/s) | 11.84 | | 400 (2.0 m/s) | 8.35 | | 600 (3.0 m/s) | 6.91 | --- ### 4. Typical Applications This electronic part is commonly used in: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling small chips on network switches and routers. 2. **Embedded Computing:** Protecting microprocessors on PCB boards. 3. **Power Electronics:** Managing heat on voltage regulators and power modules.
