A product that is proving useful to the solar industry is LORD Corporation’s TC-501 Thermally Conductive Grease. This solvent-free, silicone thermal interface material (TIM) is designed to replace greases used as TIMs between the heat spreader and the heat sink (commonly known as TIM2). It provides high thermal conductivity and low thermal resistance for applications where … [Read more...]
Low Resistance, Zero Pump-Out Thermal Pad
AOS Thermal Compounds’ Microfaze 3 A-4 is a non-silicone thermal pad that exhibits low thermal resistance. It was designed to replace phase change materials and even high performance thermal grease. The pad is composed of 1 mil films of high thermal conductivity, tacky, but dry-to-the-touch thermal grease on either side of a 2 mil aluminum foil substrate. Learn more from AOS … [Read more...]
