Thermal Interface Materials

Thermal interface materials provide a pathway to transfer heat between two surfaces, preventing harm to the infrastructure of the device at hand. Surfaces include a heat-generating component and a heat dissipator, like a heat sink. The materials and components involved will determine the most compatible thermal interface material. For example, a central processing unit would […]

When working with applications that require liquid thermal interface materials such as thermal gel, understanding the properties of that material is essential in a means to expand the longevity of the application at hand. If these technical specifications are overlooked without careful scrutiny, it could have immediate and/or latent implications on your project – and […]

When working with a central processing unit (CPU), it’s important to consider the specifications around a heat sink that’s suitable for your unique application. Many times, thermal interface material is needed to ensure that all materials involved are thermally compatible with each other. What is a thermal interface material? Thermal interface materials (TIMs) are typically […]

What are Phase Change Materials (PCM)?A phase change material is a term used for any material that both absorbs and releases heat as it changes physical state, such as from a solid to a liquid, and vice-versa. As an output for this reaction, the material will typically become either warmer or cooler depending on the […]
