The **ATS-05G-69-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions Inc.* It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or power transistors to prevent thermal throttling or hardware failure. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal properties of this specific part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic/Brass) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45mm x 45mm x 20mm | | **Thermal Resistance (Unducted)** | 11.31 °C/W @ 100 LFM | | **Thermal Resistance (Ducted)** | 1.73 °C/W @ 200 LFM | | **Fin Pattern** | Straight Fin | --- ### 2. Key Design Features The "69" series within the ATS catalog focuses on the **pushPIN™** attachment system, which offers several advantages for PCB assembly: * **Attachment Mechanism:** It uses a spring-loaded push-pin mechanism. This ensures consistent pressure on the component (TIM - Thermal Interface Material), improving heat transfer efficiency. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This specific model typically comes pre-applied with **T766**, a high-performance thermal phase-change material, or similar high-conductivity grease. * **Aerodynamic Fins:** The straight fin design is optimized for environments where there is a consistent directional airflow (ducted flow), significantly dropping the thermal resistance. --- ### 3. Part Number Breakdown Understanding the nomenclature helps in identifying variants: | Segment | Meaning | | :--- | :--- | | **ATS** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (Manufacturer) | | **05** | Form factor / Series size | | **G** | Attachment type (Push-pin variant) | | **69** | Specific design/dimension profile | | **C2** | Thermal Performance Category / TIM type | | **R0** | RoHS Compliant / Revision code | --- ### 4. Application Integration When integrating this into an electronic design, engineers use the following considerations: 1. **Hole Pattern:** The PCB must have pre-drilled holes matching the push-pin pitch of the heat sink. 2. **Airflow Direction:** Since it uses straight fins, the heat sink should be oriented so that the air flows parallel to the fins for maximum cooling. 3. **Component Height:** The 20mm height must be checked against the enclosure's "Z-height" clearance.
