Form-in-place thermal gap filler contains no silicone
SARCON SPG-25B-NS from Fujipoly is an easy to dispense, low-viscosity, silicone-free compound that exhibits a thermal conductivity of 2.5 W/m°K and a thermal resistance of only 2.1°K•cm2/W. When applied between heat-generating components and a nearby heat sink or spreader, the form stable thermal material completely fills delicate gaps as small as 0.5 mm. This allows […]
Sager Electronics to handle Advanced Thermal Systems standard, DIY, tubed and custom cold plates
Standard, DIY, tubed, and custom liquid cold plates from Advanced Thermal Systems (ATS) are candidates for cooling high-powered electronics, IGBT modules, lasers, wind turbines, motor devices, automotive components, medical equipment, and other applications where air cooling is insufficient. Liquid cold plates ultimately cool power electronics by transferring heat to liquid that and then dissipating via […]
Low oil-bleed/specific-gravity gap filler pad material in sheets, custom shapes
Sarcon GR14B from Fujipoly is a low oil-bleed/specific-gravity gap filler pad material that is offered in sheets or custom shapes to fit your exact application. This material is a candidate for cost-sensitive, lower-power applications that do not require high conductivity. When placed between heat-generating components and a nearby heatsink, this 0.5mm thick, highly conformable gap […]
Convection cooling components
Convection cooling is used in various devices, from mobile phone handsets to various consumer, communications, and industrial systems where the thermal loading is not too demanding. Devices such as heatsinks, heat spreaders, and heat pipes are used to implement convection cooling. Convection cooling systems are often classified as either passive or active. Active cooling systems […]
Tube-shaped thermal interface material for hot transistors
Fujipoly tube-shaped thermal interface covers provide an easy way to improve transistor cooling while streamlining your manufacturing process. Sarcon tubes and sleeves are available in several standard sizes to fit many common transistor types and can be custom ordered to your exact specifications. Installation takes seconds by sliding the tube over the heat-generating component. Once […]

Heat sinks, Part 2: Available components
Part 1 of this FAQ looked at the basic issues associated with cooling and heat sinks. Part 2 focuses on the various heat sinks available. Q: Are heat sinks limited to a single component such as an IC? A: No, there are heat sinks which fit entire unit or chassis cool such as those which […]
Heat sinks, Part 1: Thermal principles
A heat sink is a non-electronic, passive mechanical component that has a vital role in the reliability and performance of ICs, PC boards, modules, chassis, and more. Heat sinks often don’t get much attention, at least not in the early stages of a design. This FAQ will look at the basic thermal principles of these […]
