Kempen, 19 January 2021 - Peters underlines the significance of the thermal management of assemblies. The supplier of coatings for the electronics industry offers solutions. Higher component densities and the use of high tech components make a thermal management increasingly more relevant. Local  thermal load may exceed the maximum permissabilities of the individual assemblies. Decisive, states the supplier of coatings for protection of assemblies and electronic components, is not only the rapid heat dissipation away from the point of origin, the high-performance component, but also the thermal dissipation away from the entire assembly.

Thermal Interface Materials

Active cooling elements are heat pipes and ventilators, passive cooling elements are copper inlays. In case these coolings cannot be realized from the component's side or should additional thermal conductive paths be required, polymere based thermal conductive media can be recommended according to Peters' experience. These media are called Thermal Interface Materials. Besides the heat flow it is often also necessary to grant electrical insulation according to Peters. This limits the use of metal based materials. In order to still achieve thermal conductivity, materials with a large extent of thermal conductive ceramics are necessary.

Often the use of metallic heatsinks entails effort, costs and process uncertainty. Peters Research offers remedy to solve this problem. Printed thermal conductive pastes which as heatsinks dissipate heat on the surface or as thermal interface generate a good heat transition to metal heatsinks, are printed in the required layout on the surface of the printed circuit board by the pcb manufacturer.

Peters refers to cost-effective process

This comparatively cost-effective process offers freedom of design, fast layout changes and process certainty. They also guarantee a high electrical insulation, be it alone or in combination.

Résumé: For the development of concepts and solutions on the complex field of thermal management Peters with know how, research spirit and experience is a competent partner.
