Carteret, NJ — The compression characteristics of thermal gap fillers should be key considerations during a product’s early design phase. For applications that have delicate components or widely varying gap distances, Fujipoly® created a line of Low Compression Force gap filler pads. These TIMs help avoid overstressing the printed circuit board (PCB) and fragile solder joints … [Read more...]
Forced-Air Cooling: Should You Push or Pull?
As much as we’d prefer to be able to use just unforced, natural convection cooling, many designs and installations simply cannot be cooled adequately by the low level and uncertainty of airflow that this low-cost, reliable approach offers. Instead, it’s very common to use one or more fans to force the air at a known volume and velocity through the enclosure or chassis … [Read more...]
