Why use thermal materials?

Power consumption electronic components are the main heat source of electrical appliances. The higher the power, the more heat it will generate during operation, and the greater the impact on the equipment. The famous 10°C rule explains that when the ambient temperature increases At 10°C, the service life of components is reduced by about 30%-50%, and those with little impact are basically more than 10%. Therefore, it has a great impact on electrical appliances, which makes electrical appliances need to focus on heat dissipation design.

In addition to the use of heat dissipation devices such as fans, heat pipes, heat sinks, and water cooling, heat dissipation materials are essential. Many people have not learned much about heat dissipation materials, so why use heat dissipation materials?

Under normal circumstances, the heat dissipation device will be installed on the surface of the heat source of the equipment, and the excess temperature of the heat source will be guided to the heat dissipation device through face-to-face contact heat conduction, thereby reducing the temperature of the heat source. A good thermal channel cannot be formed between the surface and the surface, resulting in a decrease in the heat conduction rate and making the heat dissipation effect less than expected.

Thermal material is a general term for materials that are coated between the heating device and the heat dissipation device of the equipment and reduce the contact thermal resistance between the two. Apply the heat dissipation material between the heat generation device and the heat dissipation device to remove the air in the gap and reduce the contact thermal resistance between the two , so that the overall heat dissipation effect is improved, which is also the main reason why heat dissipation materials are used.
