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.
