The **ATS-53270K-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is specifically designed for component cooling in electronic systems, part of the *maxiFLOW™* product line. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table summarizes the key physical and thermal properties of the component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | maxiFLOW™ | | **Material** | Aluminum (Black Anodized) | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 27.00mm x 27.00mm | | **Height** | 14.50mm | | **Attachment Method** | maxiGRIP™ (Frame Clip) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 5.20°C/W @ 200 LFM | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | Saint-Gobain C8000 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic & Design Features #### A. maxiFLOW™ Fin Design The heat sink features a unique **flared fin geometry**. Unlike traditional straight-fin heat sinks, these fins spread outwards to maximize the surface area for convection. This design is optimized for high-performance airflow environments where space is limited. #### B. maxiGRIP™ Attachment System This part uses a specialized mechanical attachment system: * **Plastic Frame Clip:** Replaces the need for drilling holes in the PCB. * **Steady Pressure:** Applies constant pressure to the electronic component (CPU, FPGA, or ASIC), ensuring optimal contact with the Thermal Interface Material (TIM). * **Safety:** Prevents the heat sink from shifting during vibration or shipping. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The unit comes pre-applied with **Saint-Gobain C8000 phase-change material**. This material fills microscopic air gaps between the chip surface and the heat sink base, significantly reducing thermal impedance. --- ### 3. Common Applications This specific size and thermal profile are typically used for: 1. **Network Switches/Routers:** Cooling ASICs and high-speed processors. 2. **FPGA Cooling:** Maintaining stable temperatures for programmable logic devices. 3. **Industrial PCs:** Compact thermal management in fan-assisted enclosures. ---
