Thermal Interface Material is used to fill air gaps that occur between mating surfaces in electronics. These gaps prevent the fast and effective transfer of heat between component and heat sink.
The requirement to drive electronic components harder and faster, at higher power, from smaller packages means they are running hotter – and too much heat is a component killer. Thermal Interface Material removes the heat, therefore removing the problem, this protects components from overheating, damage and failure.
Thermal Interface Material (otherwise known as TIM) is at the front-line in the battle to remove heat from electronic components. It is a simple, but very effective solution that significantly improves the transfer of heat from component to heat sink.
These are all examples of applications where Thermal Interface Material is used as part of effective thermal management to ensure reliability, performance and to prevent component failure.
