norwood, ma, october 2005 – advanced thermal solutions, inc. (ats) has introduced a line of low profile, high performance heat sinks designed for cooling hot components in low airflow velocity conditions. new blueice� heat sinks are only 4 to 7 mm in height, which allows them to be used inside most telecommunication enclosures where space is limited. their thermal resistance is as low as 1.23�c/w within an air velocity of 600 ft/min.

���� blueice heat sinks are very light weight, ranging from 4 to 30 grams. no mechanical hardware is needed to mount them to components. a double-sided, thermally conductive adhesive tape can be used to attach a blueice sink securely. this feature reduces weight and assembly time, while saving valuable board space.

���� prices for blueice heat sinks start at less than $10.00 each in high volume orders.� more information on these sinks can be found on the advanced thermal solutions web site, www.qats.com, or by calling
1-781-769-2800.

advanced thermal solutions is a leading engineering and manufacturing company supplying complete thermal and mechanical packaging solutions from analysis and testing to final production. ats provides a wide range of heat sinks and laboratory-grade thermal instrumentation, along with thermal design consulting services and training.
