Heat-transfer compound boasts low thermal resistance
SARCON SPG-70A is a high flow rate, high heat transferring compound that exhibits a thermal conductivity of 7.0 W/m°K and has the lowest thermal resistance among dispensable SPG products. When applied between heat-generating components and a nearby heat sink or spreader, the form stable thermal material completely fills delicate gaps as small as 0.2 mm. […]
Basics of cooling transistors, IGBTs, and power FETs with heat sinks and PCBs
When designing any electronics that consume a significant amount of power, you need to consider where that power will go. With power electronics –such as IGBTs, power FETs, or power transistors – you might be expecting most of it to end up in your load, but there will be some which don’t. Even devices that […]
