The average change in temperature (ΔT, °C) across all five temperature sensors was as follows:
|
Initial Temperature |
Average ΔT after 100 pulls/insertions |
Average ΔT after 250 pulls/insertions |
Metal-to-Metal |
29.3°C |
34.6°C |
33.1°C |
microTIM-coated Heat Sink |
26.3°C |
27.2°C |
26.7°C |
Customer analysis validated Henkel’s internal test data, with Henkel BERGQUIST® microTIM mTIM 1028 demonstrating average temperature reductions versus a metal-to-metal interface of 3°C at initial, 7.4°C after 100 pulls/insertions and 6.4°C after 250 pulls/insertions. Based on this success, this module plus heat sink combination is now in the field, serving data centers across the globe with improved switch performance.
