ATS’ patented maxiGRIPTM Heat Sink Attachment System
About maxiGRIPTM
ATS' maxiGRIP™ is a two-component, attachment system which quickly and securely mounts heat
sinks to a wide range of hot running Ball Grid Array (BGA) components, while using a minimal amount
of space on the PCB and eliminating the need to drill holes.
The two-part maxiGRIPTM system features a plastic frame clip that fastens securely around the
perimeter of a component and a metal spring clip which slips through the heat sink’s fin field and
locks securely to both ends to the plastic frame. The resulting maxiGRIPTM assembly applies steady,
even pressure to the component throughout the product lifecycle, improving thermal performance and
long-term reliability.
ATS offers two tiers of heat sink clip attachment: maxiGRIPTM,
for general purpose and high performance applications: and
superGRIPTM, for high performance applications with densely
populated PCBs and little space around the component for
mechanical attachment.
ATS’ maxiGRIPTM heat sink attachment system permits the use of
high performance phase changing thermal interface materials that improve heat transfer by as much
as 20 times more than typical double-sided adhesive thermal tapes. It also allows for the heat sink to
be detached and reattached without damaging the component or the PCB, an important feature for
applications where PCB rework and ease of assembly and disassembly are important.
The maxiGRIPTM system is available with ATS’ maxiFLOWTM family of heat sinks, which feature a low
profile, spread fin architecture to maximize surface area for more effective convection (air) cooling.
Testing at an air flow rate of just 0.5 m/s (100 ft/m) shows that device junction temperatures (Tj)
can be reduced by more than 20 percent below the temperatures achieved using heat sinks with
traditional fin styles.
It is also available with ATS’ straight fin and cross cut heat sinks, as well as additional sizes and
configurations, as custom options.

ATS’ patented superGRIPTM Heat Sink Attachment System
About superGRIPTM
ATS' superGRIP™ is a new two-component, attachment system which quickly and securely mounts
heat sinks to a wide range of hot running Ball Grid Array (BGA) components, while using a minimal
amount of space on the PCB and eliminating the need to drill holes.
The two-part superGRIPTM system features a plastic frame clip that fastens securely around the
perimeter of a component and a metal spring clip which slips through the heat sink’s fin field and
locks securely to both ends to the plastic frame. The resulting superGRIPTM assembly applies steady,
even pressure to the component throughout the product lifecycle, improving thermal performance and
long-term reliability.
With this latest edition, ATS now offers two tiers of heat sink
clip attachment: maxiGRIPTM, for general purpose and high
performance applications: and superGRIPTM, for high performance
applications with densely populated PCBs and little space around
the component for mechanical attachment.
ATS’ superGRIPTM heat sink attachment system permits the use of
high performance phase changing thermal interface materials that improve heat transfer by as much
as 20 times more than typical double-sided adhesive thermal tapes. It also allows for the heat sink to
be detached and reattached without damaging the component or the PCB, an important feature for
applications where PCB rework and ease of assembly and disassembly are important.
The superGRIPTM system is available with ATS’ maxiFLOWTM family of heat sinks which feature a low
profile, spread fin architecture to maximize surface area for more effective convection (air) cooling.
Testing at an air flow rate of just 0.5 m/s (100 ft/m) shows that device junction temperatures (Tj)
can be reduced by more than 20 percent below the temperatures achieved using heat sinks with
traditional fin styles.
It is also available with ATS’ straight fin and cross cut heat sinks, as well as additional sizes and
configurations, as custom options.
Allows heat sink to detached
and reattached without damaging the PCB.

SENSORS
ATS-Patented Single-Sensor Technology
Advanced Thermal Solutions revolutionized the industry in the late 1990s with the introduction of its patented, singlesensor technology, which measures temperature and velocity with a single sensor and eliminates errors attributable to
non-isothermal air flow. It broke a second paradigm when it followed years later with the production of its Candlestick
sensor, a 3600 reading sensor, offering the least invasive profile in the test domain, thus insuring the highest accuracy.
Altogether, ATS presents eight different profiles and over a hundred variations in customization for its very selective and
loyal instrumentation customers.

CLWTC-1000TM - Wind Tunnel Controller
Custom-built for the CLWT-067TM and
CLWT-115TM closed loop wind tunnels,
the CLWTC-1000TM is designed to
automatically control the air flow and
temperature through the test chamber.
It minimizes the chances for errors
attributed to the use of multiple and/or
less capable controlling devices.

OPEN LOOP WIND TUNNEL
CWT Series
FEATURES:
» Component Temperature Testing
Evaluate the effects of airflow
on components, temperature and
PCB response and reliability
CONTROLLED OPEN LOOP WIND TUNNEL
» H eat Sink Characterization
These research quality wind tunnels are designed for PCB and component
level testing. They are used in air flow characterization and flow visualization,
thermal resistance measurements and generation of P-Q curves.
Characterize a variety of heat
sink sizes for natural and forced
convection cooling
» Sensor Calibration
Fans are tray-mounted and easily replaced with another tray to
accommodate larger or smaller fans. If other flow ranges are required,
the air velocity in the test section can be varied from 0 m/s (0 ft/min) to
10 m/s (2000 ft/min) with the fan tray that is provided. (see chart below)
Uniform velocity profile at the
test section allows accurate
calibration of sensors
» H eat Sink Comparison
There are sensor ports on the front and sides of the test section, which
allows for the insertion of a variety of probes, such as thermocouples,
Pitot tubes, velocity measuring sensors, etc. The test section is made
of PlexiglasTM for ease of flow visualization.
Test two heat sinks side by side
and compare their thermal performance in the same environment
» P ressure Drop Testing
Measure pressure drop across
components or PCB for a given flow
PCBs are mounted on a flexible railing in the test section. The flexibility
of the movable mounting plate allows users to design and build their
own modifications to suit specific needs. The mounting plate can be
adjusted in two directions using appropriate length standoffs.
» Multiple PCB Testing
Test actual or simulated PCBs
for thermal and flow distribution
The wind tunnel has honeycombs and screens to suppress
turbulence and provide uniform and near homogeneous flow
at the test section. A mounted diffuser at the exit and before
the fans helps with pressure recovery to provide a smooth flow.
» Flow Visualization
* Power supply not included.
» Variable Speed
Observe air flow distribution in the
tunnel by smoke or buoyant bubbles
through the all PlexiglasTM test section
