Heat sink's push-pin mounting system enables safe attachment onto hot components
Advanced Thermal Solutions
Maxiflow heat sinks
Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) is offering Maxiflow heat sinks with an integral push-pin mounting system for the fast, safe attachment of the heat sinks onto BGAs and other hot components.
Each heat sink comes with a pair of durable plastic or brass push.
The pins run through opposite corners of the heat sinks and mount securely into 3mm holes in the PCB laid out in industry standard patterns.
Plastic pins are lighter and non-electrically conductive, while brass pins have added strength and durability for more rugged applications or thicker devices.
Key specifications
- Integral spring on each pin provides 2lb of retention load
- Low-profile spread fin array maximises surface area for more effective convection (air) cooling in restricted-airflow conditions
- Fabricated from lightweight, extruded aluminium that minimises thermal resistance from the base to the fins
- Protective green anodised surface
- Available in sizes ranging from 37.4 x 37.5 x 10mm to 41.4 x 45.75 x 24.5mm
- Provided preassembled with a Chomerics T766 phase-change thermal interface material
