Many applications call for TIM that can easily be placed on a chip, on a lid or perhaps just against a heat source and a cooling solution contact plate. 

 Over the last several years hundreds of major electronics manufacturers have expanded their use of LED lighting to enhance both product appearance and functionality. Recent design trends have integrated LED lighting packages in thousands of consumer and industrial electronic platforms that range from aircraft landing systems to automotive headlights and complex industrial control panels.

One of the most challenging issues with the use of LEDs is the control of unwanted heat. The most common way to dissipate this performance-hindering byproduct is to connect the LED package directly to a heat sink. To maximize the cooling performance of the heatsink, AOK offers its line extremely soft TP series thermal interface materials.

The gel-like sheet compound is designed to efficiently transfer heat from its source to the nearby heat sink.  The unique physical properties of this material allow it to protect delicate board-level components as they fill unwanted air gaps and levels uneven surfaces.

This high-performance silicone based compound is available in nine thicknesses that deliver a thermal conductivity of 1.0W/m*K to 5.0W/m*k. The TP series thermal pad is available in pre-cut sheets up to 200mm x 300mm or die-cut to your exact application specifications. In addition to growing LED lighting applications, the same thermal interface material has proven successful in helping cool power control units, converters, inverters and batteries. As electronic packaging becomes more technologically advanced, the need for proper cooling of electronic components grows exponentially. AOK thermal interface materials are a cooling influence you can count on.

AOK operates modern, efficient equipment around the clock. The group aggregates demand from a wide range of customers to maximise efficiency and minimise energy costs. By replacing under-utilised in-house thermal processing operations with AOK’s state-of-the-art equipment, the overall amount of energy used by industry can be dramatically reduced.
