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...]
Low Compression Force Sarcon
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...]
