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...]
Heat Sink Reliability Risks from Thermal Greases
ATS Thermal Labs has published a white paper, “Long term Thermal Grease Reliability.” It considers how long term heat sink reliability is affected by the use of thermal greases as thermal interface materials. The implications are very important as they will affect the MTBF of electronic equipment. Read the paper from ATS Thermal Labs. … [Read more...]
High-Performance Thermal Putty
Fujipoly has released SARCON XR-Um-Al, a thermal interface silicone putty. The gap filler compound’s putty-like consistency contributes to the material’s low contact and thermal resistance while maintaining a thermal conductivity of 17 watt/m-k. SARCON XR-Um-Al is manufactured with a thin aluminum carrier film for customer-friendly application. The low adhesion aluminum barrier … [Read more...]
Carbon Nanotubes as High Performance Thermal Interface Materials
Introduction Because of substantial increases in the power density of electronic packages over the past few decades, thermal interface resistance can comprise more than 50% of the total thermal resistance in current high-power packages [1]. Unless advanced thermal interface materials (TIMs) that achieve order-of-magnitude improvements in performance quickly emerge in the … [Read more...]
