Phase-Change Thermal Interface Pads
THERMFLOW® T725 represents a phase change substance tailored for vertical uses, engineered to occupy and seal interfacial air gaps and voids within electronic assemblies. Classified as a Traditional Phase Change Material (PCM), THERMFLOW® materials maintain solidity at room temperature, facilitating easy handling and consistent application as dry pads onto heat sinks or component surfaces. As temperatures rise during component operation, the THERMFLOW® material softens, allowing it to conform seamlessly to mating surfaces with minimal clamping pressure. Upon reaching the requisite melt temperature, the pad undergoes a complete phase change, achieving a minimum bond-line thickness (MBLT) of less than 0.001 inch or 0.0254mm, and maximal surface wetting. Consequently, this results in negligible thermal contact resistance owing to an extremely thin thermal resistance path.
