The **ATS-05F-30-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 surface-mount components like CPUs, GPUs, or FPGAs. --- ### 1. Key Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic or Brass) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45.00mm x 45.00mm x 25.00mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight | | **Thermal Resistance** | 5.39°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **TIM (Thermal Interface Material)** | T412 (High performance) | --- ### 2. Physical Design and Functionality The part is composed of several critical elements that work together to manage heat: * **Heat Sink Body:** Constructed from aluminum for a balance of lightweight properties and high thermal conductivity. The "30" in the part number indicates the base size or specific series dimensions. * **Fin Geometry:** It features a "Fine Pitch" or "Straight Fin" design. This maximizes the surface area exposed to airflow, which is critical for convective cooling. * **Blue Anodized Finish:** The coating is not just for aesthetics; it provides corrosion resistance and slightly improves radiative heat transfer. * **Push-Pin Attachment:** Unlike adhesive tapes, the push-pin mechanism uses a pre-drilled hole in the PCB and a spring-loaded pin to provide consistent pressure. This ensures the heat sink remains in firm contact with the component during vibrations or thermal expansion. --- ### 3. Thermal Performance Profile The efficiency of this part is highly dependent on the airflow (measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM): | Airflow (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | | **200 (1.0 m/s)** | 5.39 | | **400 (2.0 m/s)** | 3.10 | | **600 (3.0 m/s)** | 2.50 | --- ### 4. Part Number Breakdown (Suffix Meaning) * **-C3:** Typically refers to the thermal interface material (TIM) or the specific hardware/spring tension kit included. * **-R0:** Indicates the revision or RoHS compliance status (standard lead-free).
