Thermal Interface Materials
Thermal interface materials (shortened to TIMs) are products used to transfer heat between mated surfaces. Their most common function is heat dissipation. They are often used in applications where air or liquid cooling is not available. Using TIMs reduces the risk of overheating. This, in turn, improves a device's performance and lifetime.
Thermal interface materials are inserted between a heat-producing device (e.g. a semiconductor) and a heat-dissipating device (e.g. a heat sink). This removes air gaps that would lead to poor heat conduction. Interfacing surfaces with TIMs allows to transfer and remove heat quickly.
ConRo Electronics offers a wide choice of thermal interface materials from major manufacturers such as Indium.
Conro Electronics is an authorized distributor for Indium.
