Thermal Interface Materials

Flow Rates vs Viscosity in Thermal Interface Materials

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 […]

Thermal Pads vs Thermal Paste

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 […]

Understanding Phase Change Materials & Applications

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 […]

An Application Guide for Form-In-Place Gaskets and Robotically Dispensed Thermal Interface Gels and Compounds

,

Robotically dispensed form-in-place gaskets are an excellent option to consider when complex gasket geometries, limited sealing real estate, turnkey assembly, low-cost solutions or quick turns are a consideration. Likewise, robotically dispensed thermal interface gels provide advantages for varied pad size and shape installations, turn-key assembly, low-cost solutions or quick turns. However, some design considerations upfront […]
