The **ATS-50325B-C1-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of their **maxiFLOW™** series, specifically designed for cooling electronic components such as CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and ASICs where space is limited and high airflow performance is required. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of the component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Part Number** | ATS-50325B-C1-R0 | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 32.2mm x 32.2mm x 7.5mm | | **Material** | Aluminum (Anodized Blue) | | **Attachment Method** | maxiGRIP™ (Frame Clip) | | **Thermal Interface (TIM)** | Chomerics T766 | | **Thermal Resistance** | ~6.50 °C/W (at 200 LFM) | --- ### 2. Key Design Elements #### A. maxiFLOW™ Fin Geometry The fin structure is the most distinctive part of this component. Unlike traditional straight-fin heat sinks, the maxiFLOW™ design features a **tapered fin** profile. * **Purpose:** This increases the surface area while reducing the pressure drop. * **Result:** It allows for maximum heat dissipation in constrained airflow environments. #### B. maxiGRIP™ Attachment System The "C1-R0" suffix refers to the specific mounting hardware used. * **Frame Clip:** It uses a plastic frame clip that snaps around the component (the IC). * **Stainless Steel Spring:** A steady, uniform pressure is applied via a gold-colored spring clip. * **Benefit:** This avoids the need to drill holes in the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and allows for easy removal and re-attachment. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The unit comes pre-applied with **Chomerics T766**. This is a high-performance phase-change material that fills the microscopic air gaps between the chip surface and the heat sink base, ensuring efficient heat transfer. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases The ATS-50325B-C1-R0 is typically used in the following electronic systems: * **Telecommunications:** High-speed routers and switches. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial controllers and compact computers. * **Automotive:** ADAS sensors and infotainment processors. * **Power Electronics:** Voltage regulators and high-density power modules. ---
