How to reduce thermal resistance of electronice contact surface

I have read some books about how to reduce thermal resistance of electronice contact surface. So there are many people a talk about this.

As we all know, most designers will position thermal interface materials in electronic assemblies by dispensing cure-in-place gap fillers as automotive electronics, telecom equipment, low-energy lighting, and other sectors demand higher production throughput, thinner bondlines, and reduced mechanical pressure on components and solder joints. As technology continues to advance, the trend toward designing smaller products with higher performance capabilities is requiring many to innovate and think of new ways of managing heat in more efficient ways. Proper thermal management is crucial to increasing or maintaining a product’s overall lifespan. This trend will drive changes in the characteristics and handling of thermal materials, as well as in the assembly processes and equipment used on the factory floor.
Thermally efficient pads and fillers have become vital in meeting demands to increase the performance and reduce the size of electronic assemblies, such as power supplies and control units, without compromising reliability. Today’s thermal materials are typically ceramic-filled silicone elastomers, which are easy to handle. They also conform well to the shape and surface texture of heatsinks or electronic components. And, they have high thermal conductivity relative to the still air they’re designed to eliminate.

What about pre-formed thermal gap pads

Pre-formed thermal gap pads in standard or custom shapes, sizes, and thickness have at least one major attraction—they’re extremely easy to use compared to older material types such as thermal greases. The Greases are difficult to use and imprecise, so they aren’t desirable in the modern production environment. However, a growing need is emerging for thermal materials that can be formed in place.

As a further advantage of cure-in-place interface materials, any design changes that alter the position or types of components used can be accommodated quickly by changing the shape and volume of thermal material deposited. If automatic dispensing equipment  is used, it can be reprogrammed, avoiding any need to reorder gap-filler pads in different sizes or shapes.
AOK has successfully developed multiple types of non-corrosive, temperature-stable, thermally conductive dispensable gap filler solutions. These include two-part materials that are designed to be mixed together when dispensed and to wet out to the adjacent surfaces filling even the smallest air gaps and voids. AOK technical service staff can help engineers determine the appropriate materials for their application and heat transfer requirements.

3M Thermal Pad vs AOK Brand Thermal Pad

3M thermal transfer pads are soft and conformable to provide maximum wet out for effective heat transfer and vibration damping for your most demanding thermal applications, such as LED and consumer electronic device assembly.
3M acrylic thermal gap pads have a unique surface tack that enables pre-positioning in multi-layer lamination applications.
Available in silicone and acrylic formulations, both thermal gap fillers provide excellent handling capabilities and can be die cut to fit most applications.

Thermal Interface Materials -Thermal Greases/ Thermal Gap Fillers

Thermal Interface Materials for Power LED heatsink



Thermal Greases is a traditional TIM material:

 Silicone-based paste format with a variety of fillers
 Typically applied in manual application or semi-automated process
 High-volume screen printing applications
• Typically viewed as lowest-cost TIM material of any kind.
• Referred to generally as “thermal paste”, “thermal compound”, “thermal grease”.
• User costing typically does not account for waste, clean-up, labor cost for
Application:
 Low material cost does not accurately describe total applied cost.
 Makes accurate cost comparisons to alternative TIM materials difficult.
 Bond line thickness generally predominates in thermal impedance performance, not filler material conductivity.
 Filler particle size is generally more critical than filler conductivity.
 High thermal conductivity fillers may result in higher thermal impedance, not lower.
 Development of a material with greatest ease of application may outweigh thermal impedance performance as the primary development target for many TIM2 applications.

Thermal Gap Fillers General statements: 

 Purpose of these materials is to fill a large air gap between a heat source and a convenient metal surface
 Relative high thickness precludes high performance relative to phase-change, thermal greases, LMAs, PSHs:
• Many materials available with modest thermal performance.
• Compressibility is an important determinant in material selection for a given
application
• Surfaces of gap-fillers may be tacky, to reduce interfacial resistance.
• Protection of surfaces with release liners prior to application is important to prevent dust, particulate accumulation.
• Application requirements are specific to individual material types.
• Very common for power LED applications:
 Luminaire lighting fixtures: heat transfer from LED baseplate to luminaire “can” for heat transfer to ambient air
 Very commonly used as TIM2 for projector light sources and other power LED
applications.

Compressibility is a key characteristic of Thermal gap-filler:

 Ability to deflect at low pressures
 Minimum pressure is important
 Relative high thermal conductivity is important because of the relatively thick nature
of a gap-filler
 Young’s Modulus of material is strongly affected by use of a high percentage of the high
thermal conductivity filler constituent.

helpful guidance and money-saving ideas for book printing


Print materials are laminated to increase longevity. In most cases, lamination is applied to printing that will be subject to stains, smudges, moisture, oil, grime, wrinkles, tears or anything else that might shorten its life.The lamination applied to printing is a clear plastic film, with either a gloss or matte finish. It can be applied to the face only, or it can be applied to both sides of the printed piece. Since the primary goal of lamination is protection, our experience has shown that the vast majority of laminated pieces have the plastic film applied to both sides.

What is a Sealed Edge?
A Sealed Edge is created when a printed piece is sandwiched between two pieces of plastic laminate film that extend past the edge of the printed piece. This allows the two sheets of film to bond to each other around the entire perimeter, thus totally encapsulating the printed document in plastic.

A Sealed Edge provides the ultimate protection against contaminants and is used when the printing may be subject to frequent handling or used in a harsh environment. The overhang lip created by the Sealed Edge method is usually in the range of 1/8"-1/2" to produce a strong bond and ensure that fluids and dirt never contact the edge of the printed paper substrate. Common uses for Sealed Edge lamination include restaurant and bar menus, factory signage, machinery hang tags, identification cards and educational material.
