TCSF200 silicone-free thermal interface materials

SinoGuide now provides TCSF200 silicone-free thermal interface materials with a new light tack adhesive to provide high thermal conductivity where contamination threats prevent the use of silicone-based thermal pads, and allow their easy positioning between components and heat sinks.

SinoGuide TCSF200 thermal interface pad is a ceramic-filled polyurethane film with a thermal conductivity of 2.0 W/mK and Dielectric Breakdown Voltage ≥200 Vac/mil.The material has a high voltage breakdown property of 6.0 kV. It provides strong perforation protection with a tensile strength of 2.5 N/mm2 and a Shore 00 hardness of 60.

Typical applications for silicone-free TCSF200 thermal interface pads include medical devices, laser equipment, lighting systems, solar energy, disc drives and aerospace electronics.

SinoGuide provides innovative, customer-focused thermal management solutions, including Silicone-free thermally conductive films, and a wide range of gap fillers, greases, graphite films and insulators.

Thermal Management Application Design Guide

Selection of thermal interface materials (TIMs)


Selection of thermal interface materials (TIMs) is a lousy & complex work for mechanical engineers as they'll find thousands of options available in the market and they may get lost sometimes. Today, you'll get to find some tips from our design guide here and hope that'll be useful when you feel confused.
When people talk about TIMs, you'll think of several key points right away, such as Thermal Conductivity, Insulation, Hardness, Compression Set & thermal resistance. These are all fundamental properties we care about the most. But is that all? We should say not finished yet. In real applications, it's more complicated than expected as you have to take more factors into account, like the housing / heatsink materials, chip flux power, component area etc.
Firstly, let's start from the principle theory of Fourier's law and you'll get to know some insights of how it works from the inside out...
