Thermally conductive tapes offer high performance heat dissipation; vital requirements for designing electronic devices where demand is for slimmer and more powerful features. Thermally conductive tapes offer a clean alternative to pastes and liquid adhesives and can be die-cut to bespoke designs, providing efficiency of application and reducing assembly times. Our thermally conductive tapes are suitable for applications requiring thin bonding as well as those requiring gap filling and vibration absorption. These needs can be met with tapes, as well as thermally conductive foams, gap pads and putties. Double coated and transfer thermally conductive tapes are available in a variety of thicknesses, providing immediate bonding of heat sinks and an efficient, long-term and reliable thermal management solution. We offer an extensive range of thermally conductive products from world leading manufacturers. Click on the products tab for more information.

Our range of high performance phase change thermal interface materials are designed to meet the thermal and reliability requirements of today’s electronics. Phase change thermal materials are solid pads at room temperature. At temperatures above their transition temperature, they begin to soften and flow, filling the microscopic irregularities of the components it contacts. The result is an interface with minimal thermal contact resistance. Due to the gradual change in viscosity (softening), migration (pump out) is minimized. They provide superior surface wetting, minimum bondline thickness and actively expel entrapped air. Phase change materials are used in a variety of applications, including microprocessors, power components and modules and chip sets.

Phase change thermal interface material characteristics:

• Range of thicknesses
• Meet all environmental requirements including RoHS
• Stable and reliable performance
• Easy to handle and apply
• Available as die-cut parts in rolls or sheets with or without tabbed liners for easy application
• Reusable options are available, ideal where multiple tests are required with the same thermal solution
