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

Terry Keenan Form-in-Place Gaskets, Thermal Interface Materials

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 […]

Case Study: Heat Dissipation for Hybrid Vehicle DC/DC Converter

Terry Keenan Thermal Interface Materials

The ChallengeThe consumer demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) has skyrocketed over the past several years and can only be expected to continue to grow. As that demand increases, manufacturers must also consider the increased demand in 12V and 24V accessories which have traditionally been powered by an alternator. For EVs […]

Thermal Interface Materials Reliability and Evaluation

Terry Keenan Thermal Interface Materials

Today’s electronics and modern microdevices generate large amounts of heat. In order to preserve electronic systems so that they operate within their specifications, heat must be spread and dissipated. Proper temperatures are essential to sustain peak performance and reliability. Thermal interface materials (TIMs) are designed to minimize contact resistance at the interface site. TIMs can […]
