Inventory of three commonly used thermal conductive materials: thermal pads, phase change thermal conductive materials, and thermal sealing composite materials

With the progress of the times and the development of technology, many devices are becoming increasingly precise, but the precision of equipment cannot be achieved without effective coordination between various components. In order to meet the high efficiency of equipment performance, many components are designed in various ways. Due to their different shapes and uneven surfaces, thermal conductive materials need to be filled between the components to ensure good heat dissipation of the equipment, thereby improving its efficiency and performance. So, do you know what are the common thermal conductive materials? Let's take a look together below.

1. Thermal pad

Thermal padIt is a relatively traditional thermal conductive material, mainly used to fill between heating devices and heat sinks. This material has strong flexibility and can cover uneven surfaces of components well. Moreover, this material has a long service life, which is conducive to the long-term use of equipment. The main principle of thermal conductivity is that during the use of equipment, both pressure and temperature will increase, causing the gasket to become soft and creep, thereby increasing the contact area.

2. Phase change thermal conductive material

Phase change thermal conductive materialIt is a material that can change its shape with temperature changes. When the equipment temperature is low, this material is solid. When heat dissipation is needed, this material liquefies, and the process of change releases heat. It is precisely because of this characteristic that this material can be reused, thereby increasing the reliability of equipment operation.

3. Thermal conductive adhesive

Thermal conductive adhesive, also known asThermal conductive siliconeThe main material is silicone, which is a high polymer material. Of course, some other components that help dissipate heat are also added, which has good thermal conductivity and electrical insulation properties. For many electronic devices, this type of material is the most commonly used thermal conductive material. Thermal conductive adhesive has adhesive properties and high bonding strength, as well as impact and vibration resistance, making it widely used.

4. Thermal conductive sealing adhesive

Thermal conductive sealing adhesive is actually a type of silicone material that has both soft elasticity and hard rigidity of epoxy system. It can basically meet the needs of various equipment and can achieve deep thermal conductive sealing requirements. This material has good waterproof and insulation properties, which helps protect components and also reduces their vibration while dissipating heat.

The above are currently widely used and effective thermal conductive materials. Of course, there are many such materials available, and with the advancement of technology, more high-performance materials will emerge, making thermal conductive materials more suitable for the needs of equipment operation.
