Phase Change Materials
Phase change materials are designed to work as an interface between power devices and heat sinks, absorbing excess heat from electronic devices and providing better thermal management. They also allow for increased system stability, leading to more efficient use of electricity and enhanced performance. Phase change materials come in several types and shapes, making them perfect for any number of thermal management solutions.
Phase change materials work by transitioning from a solid state of matter to a liquid one, or vice versa. The energy released or absorbed during the transition provides heat or cooling. Phase change materials are used as an alternative to thermal greases or pastes, offering improved heat dissipation and thermal performance.
At ConRo Electronics, we understand how important it is to keep your electronics running optimally so that they can perform better over time. That’s why we stock a range of the best phase change materials from major manufacturers such as Henkel Loctite.
Conro Electronics is an authorized distributor for Henkel.
Advantages of phase materials
Using dispensable or printable phase change materials in place of thermal grease or paste provides a number of advantages, including:
- High thermal performance, resulting in increased CPU reliability.
- Thixotropic properties that keep the materials from spilling out of the interface.
- Tackified or tack-free for ease of handling.
- Available in different carriers, depending on the need for electrical isolation.
- Easy to apply and suitable for automated application.
Applications of phase change materials
Phase change materials are used to improve thermal performance in a wide variety of applications, from servers and computer systems to power conversion devices and high-end laptops. Their properties and versatility make them suitable for use in a number of sectors, including:
- Consumer electronics
- Automotive
- Aerospace
- Medical
