Follow on Google News | ATS maxiFLOW Heat Sink Named to EDN Magazine’s Hot 100 Products of 2011Advanced Thermal Solution’s Push Pin-Mounted maxiFLOW™ heat sink has been named one of the 2011 Hot 100 Products by EDN Magazine.
By: Andrea Koss ATS maxiFLOW heat sinks use an integral push pin mounting system for fast, safe attachment of the heat sinks onto BGAs and other hot components. The metal heat sinks are cross cut allowing air flow in different directions. This improves their effectiveness in cooling BGAs and other hot components. These maxiFLOW heat sinks are provided with a pair of durable push pins in a choice of plastic or brass. Plastic pins are lighter and non-electrically conductive; brass pins have added strength and durability for more rugged applications or thicker devices. An integral spring on each pin provides approximately 2 lbs (1 kg) of retention load, depending on the height of the component and the PCB thickness. The patented ATS maxiFLOW sinks feature a low-profile, spread-fin array that maximizes surface area for more effective convection (air) cooling in the restricted-airflow conditions, common with today’s condensed-size electronic packages. The heat sinks are fabricated from lightweight extruded aluminum which minimizes thermal resistance from the base to the fins. They have a protective green anodized surface. Tests on maxiFLOW heat sinks with an airflow rate of just 100 lfm (linear feet per minute) show that device junction temperatures (Tj) can be reduced by more than 40 percent below the temperatures achieved using conventional straight-fin heat sinks. The push pin-mount maxiFLOW heat sinks are available in sizes ranging from 37.4 x 37.5 x 10.0 mm (L x W x H) up to 41.4 x 45.75 x 24.5 mm (L x W x H). Each maxiFLOW heat sink is provided preassembled with a phase-change thermal-interface material (TIM) for improved component-to- “We’re delighted to be chosen as one of EDN’s Hot 100 Products of 2011” said Dr. Kaveh Azar, founder and CEO of ATS, “EDN’s award affirms our mission to provide innovations in thermal management.” Said Rich Pell, Executive Editor of EDN, “This awards program has been in existence since 1993 and over the years has highlighted many industry trends – this year is no different.
