Advanced Thermal Solutions Launches New Product Line of Brick Heat Sinks for Cooling DC-DC Converters
Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. has launched a new product line of maxiFLOW™ heat sinks, specially designed to cool eighth, quarter, half and full brick size dc-dc converters. Unlike other converter heat sinks, the patented maxiFLOW heat sink design reduces air pressure drop and provides greater surface area for more effective convection (air) cooling. The same ATS maxiFLOW technology is used in heat sinks cooling millions of BGAs and other PCB components.
The new brick dc-dc converter heat sinks offer a range of fin patterns, directions and profiles to match different height and weight restrictions and airflow patterns. All of these heat sinks are protected with a gold anodized finish.
Each heat sink is provided pre-assembled with a layer of Chomerics T766 Thermflow phase change thermal interface material to enhance heat transfer from brick to heat sink. All of these heat sinks also come with three sets of screws in lengths of 5, 6 and 8 mm for varied attachment situations. The heat sinks’ pre-drilled hole patterns fit all major dc-dc converter designs.
DC-dc converters are circuits which convert direct current from one voltage level to another. They are extensively used in electronic devices serving communications, computing, data storage, health care, industrial equipment, instrumentation and test and measurement. Heat sinks are typically required to keep the converters running within safe operating temperatures.
