Surface Mount Techniques (SMT) announces stencil/screen printers specifically designed for thermal grease applications. Highly concentrated heat sources found in ever shrinking electronic designs have increased the demand for better heat dissipation. The demand is seen across many industries: power electronics, electric vehicles (EV), ever shrinking handheld devices and … [Read more...]
Light Tack Adhesive Eases Fitting of Thermal Interface Pads
MH&W International now provides U 90 silicone-free thermal interface materials with a new light tack adhesive to provide high thermal conductivity where contamination threats prevent the use of silicone-based thermal pads, and allow their easy positioning between components and heat sinks. MH&W’s Keratherm U 90 thermal interface material is a ceramic-filled … [Read more...]
Melting-While-Cooling Silicon Could Improve Solar Cells
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have recently discovered that by dissolving certain metals into silicon, they can add that silicon compound to the relatively short list of exotic substances that exhibit retrograde melting. Their accomplishment could ultimately result in less expensive solar cells and electronic devices. The team started by … [Read more...]

Thermal Facts and Fairy Tales: Uncertainty is Assured
Do you know the thermal conductivity of paper? This was the start of a phone call a few years ago. The conversation continued and the reason for the question became apparent. A thermal analysis of a printed circuit board had determined that a thermal interface material was needed under some hotter components to provide a better conduction path. The circuit card was edge cooled … [Read more...]
