Matrix supplies thermally conductive attachment tapes for applications where a heat sink interface needs both attachment and a path for heat transfer. The tape becomes part of the assembled joint, connecting the contact surfaces through an adhesive material selected for that role.
In compact electronics, attachment space can be limited. A thermal tape offers a different format from a gap filler held under compression or a grease used with a separate fastening arrangement. The appropriate option depends on what the joint needs to do.
Bonding and heat transfer in one interface
Parker Chomerics THERMATTACH products are thermally conductive attachment tapes with different constructions for different substrates and performance needs. Their manufacturer documentation distinguishes the options; the product family name does not imply that every grade has the same bond or electrical properties.
That distinction matters for a compact heat sink. The contact area may include metal, a component surface or another substrate, and the attachment must suit the actual materials. A tape can contribute to the thermal path while securing a suitable joint, but it is not a universal replacement for mechanical retention.
Converted around the contact footprint
Matrix combines material distribution with precision converting capabilities. For suitable thermal tapes, a converted part can follow the heat sink footprint and leave the required clearance around nearby features.
The supplied shape connects the selected material to the equipment assembly. A defined footprint can be useful where the same interface is repeated across production builds. Available thicknesses, liner formats and conversion details depend on the chosen construction and project requirements.
Discuss the complete attachment requirement
We support material selection and sample inquiries for thermal management applications. Bring the heat sink interface and substrate details to Contact Matrix to discuss thermal attachment tape and supplied-part options. The objective is a material and format suited to the joint, with manufacturer properties kept specific to the selected product.
