Over 380 heat sinks, available for overnight delivery exclusively from Digi-Key, are included in Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc's (ATS) new Heat Sink Catalogue. Each of the heat sinks within the catalogue is listed with part numbers, dimensions, thermal performance data and pricing.

The catalogue includes a wide range of ATS maxiFLOW heat sinks which feature a low profile, spread fin array to maximize surface area for more effective convection (air) cooling. Testing at an air flow rate of just 0.5 m/s (100 ft/m) shows that device junction temperatures (Tj) can be reduced by more than 20 percent below the temperatures achieved using other heat sinks of comparable size and volume.

Also included in the catalogue are heat sinks specifically designed for cooling a variety of Freescale processors and a wide range of BGAs, LGAs, ASICs and LED lighting strips. Straight-fin and cross-cut heat sinks can also be found in the catalogue.

Most of the heat sinks are provided with thermally conductive adhesive mounting tapes or mechanical attachment systems for installation on hot components. These include the ATS maxiGRIP system, which features a stainless steel spring clip and plastic frame clip to provide secure attachment to the component and eliminates need to drill holes in the PCB. The system also allows for the use of high-performance phase-change materials that improve heat transfer as well as simple heat sink detachment and reattachment without damaging the component.
