The **ATS-05H-22-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the "push pin" series designed for cooling electronic components such as CPUs, GPUs, or high-power transistors. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table highlights the physical and thermal characteristics of this specific model: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push Pin (Brass) | | **Dimension (L x W)** | 54.00 mm x 54.00 mm | | **Height** | 12.70 mm | | **Fin Type** | Fine Pitch (Rectangular) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 13.87 °C/W (at 100 LFM) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic & Mechanical Features #### A. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The part number suffix `-R0` indicates that it comes pre-applied with **Phase Change Material (PCM)**. This is a specialized thermal pad that melts at operating temperatures to fill microscopic air gaps between the component and the heat sink, ensuring maximum heat transfer efficiency. #### B. Push Pin Attachment Instead of using messy thermal glues or screws, this heat sink uses a mechanical **Push Pin and Spring** system: * **Ease of Assembly:** Quick installation on printed circuit boards (PCBs). * **Consistent Pressure:** The spring-loaded pins ensure a uniform downward force on the electronic chip, which is critical for maintaining thermal contact without cracking the silicon die. #### C. Airflow Optimization The "Fine Pitch" design is engineered for systems with forced-air cooling (fans). The spacing between the aluminum fins is optimized to reduce pressure drop while maximizing the surface area available for heat dissipation. --- ### 3. Common Applications * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs and automation controllers. * **Networking:** Routers, switches, and high-speed modems. * **Power Electronics:** Voltage regulators and motor drivers that generate significant heat in a small footprint. --- ### 4.
