The **ATS-52270B-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the "maxiFLOW™" series, specifically designed for cooling high-power electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and ASICs. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table summarizes the physical and thermal characteristics of the component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Product Series** | maxiFLOW™ | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 27mm x 27mm x 7.5mm | | **Material** | Anodized Aluminum | | **Thermal Resistance (Airflow)** | 5.30° C/W @ 200 LFM | | **Attachment Method** | maxiGRIP™ (Frame Clip) | | **Color** | Blue Anodized | --- ### 2. Key Design Elements #### A. maxiFLOW™ Fin Geometry The "B" in the part number denotes a specific fin pattern. The maxiFLOW design features a tapered fin structure which: * Reduces pressure drop. * Increases the surface area for heat dissipation. * Optimizes airflow through the heat sink even in high-density PCB layouts. #### B. maxiGRIP™ Attachment System This part is designed to be used with a **maxiGRIP™** attachment. This is a two-component system consisting of a plastic frame clip and a stainless steel spring clip. * **Mechanical Stability:** It provides high pressure to the thermal interface material (TIM) without requiring holes in the PCB. * **Reliability:** Meets shock and vibration requirements (Telecordia GR-63-Core). #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "R0" suffix indicates that the part typically comes with a pre-applied high-performance thermal pad (often **Chomerics T766**), ensuring a low-resistance thermal path between the chip and the heat sink. --- ### 3. Typical Applications This specific size (27x27mm) is commonly used for: * **Networking Hardware:** Switches, routers, and high-speed modems. * **Embedded Computing:** Industrial PC modules and micro-controllers. * **Power Electronics:** Voltage regulators and power conversion chips. ---
