New iPhone App Optimizes Heat Sinks

Advanced Thermal Solutions recently introduced a heat sink design calculator. This kind of iPhone app identifies the proper heat sinks to satisfy the most component-level cooling requirements. The new Heat Sink Design Tool app enables engineers to input the essential specs and then research online for heat sinks that fit their requirements.

The app allows users of Apple’s mobile devices to identify heat sinks for cooling hot PCB components and other electronic devices. Design parameters that the user can enter include the heat sink material (e.g. aluminum), heat sink dimensions (length, width, height) and the number and dimensions of the sink’s heat spreading fins.

The ATS app helps users search a number of databases to find if a sink exists that fits or closely matches the entered data as the key heat sink specs are entered. In most conditions, a heat sink is available to match the user’s needs. If no heat sink exists, the user can request a free price quote by linking to the ATS website.

The Heat Sink Design Tool app can be downloaded at free from Apple’s iTunes App Store. It is compatible with all iPhones, the iPod touch, and the iPad.
