Thermally Conductive Materials

As electronic devices are getting smaller and faster, they are also resulting in more heat build-up within the system. You want to protect your equipment from slower speeds, less reliability, or—the unspeakable—complete failure. An efficient thermal management system consists of three components:

  • The Electronic Device
  • The Interface Gap
  • Heat Sinks and/or Heat Spreaders

The interface gap is inevitable because of the micro-gaps and voids between the two mating surfaces. Optimal performance of the heat dissipation system requires the air voids be filled with a thermally conductive interface product.

  • Interface Gasketing: thin gauge material
  • Gap Pad Fillers: thick gauge—from .10 to .250
  • Phase-change Interface Gasketing and Tape: material softens to fill imperfections in metal surfaces
  • Adhesives and Adhesive Tapes: for bonding and laminating to other substrates
  • Grease Encapsulants: not a solid form

Things to Consider

The following recommended steps will help you determine the correct thermal interface material for your application:

  1. Determine electrical requirements.
  2. Determine the interface gap.
  3. Determine the contact pressure.
  4. Choose the lowest thermal resistance.
  5. Determine if a mechanical fastener will be used.
  6. Determine if there are any flame retardant requirements.
