New pcbCLIP frame-and-clip system mounts larger, higher-performing heat sinks onto smaller, high-power PCB components.

NORWOOD, MASSACHUSETTS, UNITED STATES, March 21, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. (ATS) has introduced pcbCLIP, a frame-and-clip system for mounting larger, higher-performing heat sinks onto smaller, high-power PCB components. The new mounting system features a durable plastic frame with a peel-and-stick bottom surface that bonds directly to a PCB, around 10 x 10mm BGAs, ASICs, and other hot-running DSPs. When the plastic frame is in place, pcbCLIP’s stainless steel clip runs through the heat sink’s fins and locks securely with the frame.

The pcbCLIP system enables the attachment of larger, higher heat-dissipating heat sinks, with lengths and widths (L x W) beyond those of the hot component, and that cannot be reliably attached with thermal tape alone. The system’s stainless-steel clip provides secure attachment, with steady, even pressure.

The pcbCLIP frame clip is made of a flame-retardant PC-ABS plastic blend. Its mounting side features a strong 3M pressure sensitive adhesive. The metal clip is detachable if component access is needed.

In addition to their larger L x W dimensions, the ATS straight fin heat sinks used with pcbCLIP have high aspect ratios, with higher fins to increase heat dissipation. These heat sinks are 18.25 x 25.0 mm in L x W, and heights from 12.5 to 22.0mm. Their thermal resistance is as low as 2.1°C/W. All heat sinks ship with a pre-attached thermal interface material (TIM) on their mounting side.

Along with standard sizes of pcbCLIP and the ATS heat sinks, custom designs are available from ATS for fitting different application specifics.
