Parker Chomerics THERM-A-GAP™ PAD 70TP is an ultra-soft, highly conformable thermal gap filler pad with an impressive thermal conductivity of 7.0 W/m-K. Designed to deliver both exceptional thermal performance and superior conformability, PAD 70TP effectively bridges gaps between heat sinks and electronic devices, even on uneven surfaces, in the presence of air gaps, or with … Read more

Public transportation is becoming more popular as we seek to limit our CO2 footprint. According to estimates derived from the Department of Energy, train travel is approximately 34% more energy efficient than taking a flight and about 46% more energy efficient than driving. Today, within the US alone, the goal appears to be doubling the number of … Read more

Heat Shrink Boots vs. Overmolding: Which Solution Is Right for You? When it comes to cable protection and strain relief, two of the most popular methods are heat shrink boots and overmolding. Both options offer unique benefits and cater to different applications, but how do you decide which solution best fits your project? Let’s dive … Read more

Heat-shrinkable molded shapes, often called shrink boots, are widely used across industries such as defense, aerospace, and automotive. Like standard heat shrink tubing, these components are made from thermoplastic materials that shrink tightly around objects when heated. However, their predefined geometric shapes offer enhanced durability,electrical insulation, and protection, while also simplifying installation. These specially designed … Read more

Saint-Gobain has introduced a proprietary range of highly compliant gap fillers tailored for smaller, high-performance electronic circuits. These new materials offer an excellent thermal interface across varying component heights, requiring minimal compression force. Key Features: Available in thicknesses ranging from 20 mils to 280 mils. Naturally tacky surfaces ensure strong self-adhesion. Options available with different … Read more

A Absorption Loss: Reduction of electromagnetic energy as it penetrates a shield, caused by current induction and heat dissipation (I²R loss), typically measured in decibels (dB). Ambient Electromagnetic Environment: Electromagnetic field present in a given area, originating from sources unrelated to the system being tested. Attenuation: Energy reduction during wave transmission, either naturally through mediums … Read more

Electromagnetic waves consist of two primary components: a magnetic field and an electric field. These fields are oriented perpendicularly to each other, and the direction in which the wave propagates is at a right angle to the plane formed by these two components. The relative strength of the magnetic (H) field and the electric (E) … Read more

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are increasingly widespread, from large institutions to individual homes. These systems store electrical energy for future use, providing essential backup or auxiliary power and can serve as portable battery storage solutions. BESS are typically categorized into three main tiers: Grid-level storage is used in applications like large solar arrays, wind … Read more

Pink heat shrink tubing is often used in the aerospace industry for several reasons, primarily related to identification, quality control, and compliance with industry standards. Here’s why pink is specifically chosen: Identification and Color Coding In aerospace applications, color coding is critical for quickly identifying different types of cables, wires, and components. Pink heat shrink … Read more
