### ATS-52290B-C2-R0: Technical Overview The **ATS-52290B-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink assembly manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the **maxiFLOW™** series, specifically designed for cooling high-power electronic components such as processors, FPGAs, and ASICs. --- ### 1. Component Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | maxiFLOW™ | | **Attachment Method** | maxiGRIP™ (Frame Clip) | | **Material** | Aluminum (Black Anodized) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 2.50° C/W @ 200 LFM | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 29mm x 29mm x 7.5mm | | **Interface Material** | T766 (Pre-applied Thermal Pad) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic & Mechanical Parts The assembly consists of three primary functional elements that work together to manage the thermal profile of an electronic component: #### A. The Heat Sink (maxiFLOW™ Design) The core component is the aluminum heat sink. It features a **tapered fin design** which: * Reduces pressure drop. * Increases airflow through the fin field. * Maximizes surface area for heat dissipation in space-constrained PCB layouts. #### B. The maxiGRIP™ Attachment System Unlike traditional heat sinks that require holes drilled into the PCB, this part uses a **mechanical clip system**: * **Plastic Frame Clip:** Securely encircles the electronic component (e.g., a BGA package). * **Stainless Steel Spring Clip:** Applies steady, even pressure across the component surface to ensure optimal thermal contact. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The base of the heat sink comes pre-applied with **Chomerics T766**. This is a high-performance phase-change material that fills microscopic air gaps between the chip and the heat sink, significantly lowering thermal resistance. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This part is typically found in high-density electronic environments, including: * **Networking Hardware:** Switches and routers. * **Telecommunications:** Base stations and optical modules. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PC boards where vertical space (7.5mm height) is limited. ---
