Heat sinks cool components in low airflow conditions

Advanced Thermal Solutions Inc. (ATS) has introduced a line of low profile, high performance heat sinks designed for cooling components in low airflow velocity conditions. The new blueICE heat sinks offer height profiles from 4mm to 7mm, which allows them to be used inside most telecommunication enclosures where space is limited.

The light weight (4g to 30g) heat sinks offer a thermal resistance as low as 1.23°C/W within an air velocity of 600ft/min. In addition, they don't require mechanical hardware to mount them to components. A double-sided, thermally conductive adhesive tape can be used to attach the heat sink securely, reducing both weight and assembly time, said the company.

Prices for blueICE heat sinks start at less than $10 each in high volume orders.
