Abstract As we entered the current century, consumer electronics were primarily cooled using aluminum. Over the last 15 years, flexible graphite heat spreaders have largely replaced aluminum for thermal management in many advanced consumer electronics devices where properties of being thin or lightweight are desired. There are two types of flexible graphite, natural and … [Read more...]
Tough Epoxy Polysulfide Adhesive Resists High Temperatures
Product: EP21TPHT Release Date: 01/14/2020 Master Bond EP21TPHT is a new two component epoxy polysulfide system designed for bonding applications that require toughened and thermally stable bonds resistant to chemicals. It resists temperatures up to 350°F, much higher than typical epoxy polysulfide systems. This room temperature curable adhesive also features convenient … [Read more...]
Power-Rail Dissipation: Diverse Appearances, Unforeseen Consequences
One of the first practical lessons that electronic-circuit designer learn is to be aware of power-rail voltage drop, commonly called “IR drop,” which is the simple product of current and resistance in the printed-circuit board (PCB) track, wire, or larger cable. As currents increase to tens of amps and much higher, the IR-drop problem become more acute. Even a modest 50 mΩ of … [Read more...]
