The **ATS-05G-87-C2-R0** is a specific part number for a high-performance **Heat Sink** manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)*. While it is a mechanical component, it is critical in electronics for thermal management. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications This part belongs to the **push-PIN™** series, designed for secure and efficient mounting to Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic or Brass) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 13.12 °C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Dimensions** | 35.00mm x 35.00mm x 20.00mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | | **Pressure Spring** | ATS-PPS-05 | --- ### 2. Electronic Application In electronic systems, this part is used to dissipate heat generated by active components. Common applications include: * **Processors (CPUs/GPUs):** Cooling small embedded processors or microcontrollers. * **ASICs & FPGAs:** Managing heat on custom integrated circuits. * **Power Modules:** Dissipating heat from voltage regulators and MOSFETs. * **LED Drivers:** Preventing thermal throttling in high-output lighting circuits. --- ### 3. Thermal Performance Analysis The efficiency of this heat sink depends on the airflow (measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM). | Air Velocity (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | | 100 (0.5 m/s) | 13.12 | | 300 (1.5 m/s) | 4.02 | | 500 (2.5 m/s) | 2.70 | --- ### 4. Component Design Features 1. **Straight Fin Design:** Optimized for consistent airflow direction. 2. **Push-Pin Mounting:** Provides the necessary "clamping force" (interface pressure) to ensure the thermal interface material (TIM) works effectively between the chip and the sink. 3. **Pre-assembled:** Usually comes with a pre-applied Thermal Interface Material (Phase Change Material) for easy installation in mass production.
