Vel-Therm
®
Compliant Thermal Interface Material
Vel-Therm® is a thermally-conductive
and compliant interface material useful for the reliable thermal attachment of electronic
components to heatsinks and heatspreaders. Much of thermal management involves the
transfer of heat from one element, such as electronic components, boards and boxes,
heatpipes, radiators, heat spreaders, etc. to another. Of major concern in this process is
the thermal contact resistance of the attachment. While individual components might have
very high conductance, large temperature drops DTs can develop at high resistance
interfaces, limiting overall performance of the thermal control system. The entire thermal
management system can be greatly improved by using thermal interfaces with lower
resistance. Smaller DTs can result in weight reduction, better performance, and
longer lifetimes of electronic elements (e.g. batteries). Vel-Therm® has
higher thermal performance and requires less clamping pressure than traditional thermal
pads filled with metal powders or microspheres.
