Sonderhoff Gasketing Total Process Solution for Low-Voltage Power Distribution System Customer Challenges Increased production demand for the customer’s low-voltage power distribution enclosure systems dictated a faster, more efficient gasketing approach. Read More
Automation-Friendly Liquid Gap Filler Delivers on Thermal Control, High Throughput Requirements for DC-DC Power Converter Customer Challenge The customer’s new design for a DC-DC power converter required a more efficient, high-volume solution for the application of thermal management materials. For previous-generation designs, silicone pads were applied in several locations between the DC-DC converter’s printed circuit board and metal housing. Use of the pads presented several inventory and production-related issues, including: - Operator handling difficulty of the thin sheets - Manual and time-consuming application process - Sourcing of silicone pads in many different sizes and thicknesses Any new material solution had to provide similar or better thermal performance as that achieved with the silicone pads.

BOND PLY Increases Production Efficiency, Lowers Cost for High-Power Industrial Application Customer Challenge The customer’s new design for a power supply used in a high-power industrial application incorporates several discrete packages, making traditional mechanical attachment processes inefficient. In addition, the system’s power levels, high breakdown voltage and heat generation suggested that use of conventional adhesives as a mechanical replacement could not deliver the thermal performance necessary. The customer aimed to reduce overall manufacturing costs, while improving production efficiency, performance and yield. Read More
BERGQUIST GAP PAD TGP 2200SF Delivers Silicone-free Thermal Management for Sensitive Environments Customer Challenges A new Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) design required a robust thermal management solution with no outgassing risk. As the system can be used in a variety of machines and production environments, the thermal materials must be conducive to many conditions. The customer requested the use of a silicone-free thermal solution to avoid silicone contamination, but wanted to maintain the stress control and heat benefits generally consistent with silicone-based thermal interface materials (TIMs) based thermal interface materials (TIMs).
