The **ATS-X50375P-C1-R0** is a high-performance heat sink component manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the "SuperGrip" series, designed specifically for cooling high-heat-generating electronic components like BGAs (Ball Grid Arrays) and CPUs. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table highlights the core physical and thermal properties of this specific model: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Series** | SuperGrip | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 37.5 mm x 37.5 mm x 22.9 mm | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | SuperGrip (Frame Clip + Plastic Spring Clip) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 2.50° C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Flow Direction** | Cross-cut (Omni-directional) | --- ### 2. Key Features & Components #### A. Thermal Performance * **Fin Geometry:** The heat sink features a **cross-cut** (straight fin) pattern. This allows air to flow through the sink from any direction, making it ideal for systems where the airflow direction is unpredictable or limited. * **Material Efficiency:** Made from high-grade aluminum, it balances weight with thermal conductivity, while the blue anodized finish increases surface emissivity. #### B. The SuperGrip™ Attachment System This part is famous for its "No-Hole" mounting solution, which includes: 1. **Frame Clip:** A plastic frame that snaps onto the base of the electronic component (BGA). 2. **Spring Clip:** A metal "U-shaped" clip that applies constant downward pressure on the heat sink, ensuring high-quality contact with the chip surface. 3. **No PCB Drilling:** Unlike traditional heat sinks, this does not require holes in the PCB, preserving board real estate for signal routing. --- ### 3. Application Use-Cases * **Networking Hardware:** High-speed routers and switches. * **Processors:** Cooling for BGAs, FPGAs, and ASICs. * **Industrial PCs:** Compact systems requiring robust vibration-resistant cooling. * **Telecom:** Base station equipment where reliability is critical. --- ### 4. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The part typically comes pre-applied with high-performance **thermal tape** or is designed to be used with a specific phase-change material to minimize the air gap between the component and the aluminum base.
