High Performance High Reliability Fully Cured Dispensable Thermal Gel
Parker Chomerics THERM-A-GAPGEL 50VT is a reworkable, high performance, one-component silicone, dispensable thermal interface gel material with 5.2 W/m-K typical thermal conductivity. GEL 50VT was developed to conduct heat away from electronics to heat sinks or enclosures and to perform reliably in vertical and/or high vibration applications. The “VT” suffix in the product name stands for “Vertical Tackiness.” During development, GEL 50VT was tested to a number of rigorous long term reliability tests such as automotive slump, high vibration testing, and telecommunications thermal verification processes. The long term reliability of GEL 50VT provides confidence for mission critical applications that rely on consistent thermal performance over many years of continuous operation. THERM-A-GAPGEL 50VT requires no mixing or secondary curing and is designed for easy application and rework. It can be dispensed at various bond line thicknesses typically up to 0.160in (4mm) to take up gaps created by assembly or manufacturing tolerances. As with all Parker Chomerics thermal gels, GEL 50VT is formulated to accommodate today’s high-performance and high-reliability electronics while being ideal for automated dispensing machines, rework, and field repair situations.
