Thermal Interface Materials

Selecting the correct thermal interface materials for a job can not only extend the components’ lifespan but also considerably improve electronic performance. We understand the important balance of everything just right and are here to make sure you do.

To help you achieve superior thermal performance, we supply GAP-Filler foams, gels, pastes, and adhesives to thermal interface films, insulating washers, silicone rubbers for semi-conductors, and wafers to a vast range of thermally conductive foils.

We’re on hand for advice about our selection of fixing materials or to assist you in finding the appropriate mounting material for semiconductors and heatsinks. What’s more, we also offer contour die-cutting to provide you with zero-tolerance parts quickly without extra tooling costs.

Start a conversation with our specialists to discuss the most cost-effective and high-performing materials for your project.

Selecting high-performance thermal interface materials

With such a wide range of options available, our expert team has an extensive knowledge of the considerations needed for using the right material. If you simply provide us with the required thermal conductivity (W/m*K) and any fixed parameters, we’ll make it easy to source the materials that will offer you outstanding thermal management.

As the official UK partner for Fischer Elektronik, our team is exceptionally well-equipped to assist you in selecting the most suitable thermal interface materials from our extensive catalogue. For those more complex engineering problems, we collaborate with thermal management engineers and manufacturers, tapping into their specific expertise and working to your requirements. Whatever the challenge, we’ll always ensure you have an ideal solution that balances cost-effectiveness and performance with seamless installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Thermal Interface Material?

Thermal interface materials (sometimes referred to as TIMs) are substances that enable heat to transfer more effectively within electronic assemblies. Thermal interface materials fill in any air gaps around electronic components and improve the thermal connection between them to dissipate heat, deliver better performance and give the components a longer lifespan.

Thermal interface materials can be made of a range of conductive substances, and this is where we step in to offer advice.

Certainly, it’s what we’re here for. You know what you need to achieve with the project, and we know our thermal insulating materials inside and out – so together, we can find the right fit for your project.

Absolutely. We work closely with thermal interface material manufacturers and can produce something specific to your drawings and dimensions. We can also give guidance on the best materials available.

Our contour die-cutting is based on your detailed specifications, utilising both a punching machine with a steel strip blanking die for efficient production runs and a digital cutter that uses CAD data. The digital cutter enables us to produce precise, zero-tolerance cut templates without tooling costs, providing ready-to-use parts with exceptional accuracy. This advanced cutting technology, combined with outstanding production speed, guarantees optimum results, tailored to your requirements. In addition to contour and kiss-cut parts, we can cut roll material to size or machine it according to your specifications.
