thermal pad, henkel eif1000
NEDC considers themselves thermal interface pads experts. When you’re discussing the best thermal performance, phase change is the best you are going to get. In this blog, we wanted to highlight a pad that we handle all the time.
Properties of EIF1000 aka ISOSTRATE
As we have discussed maybe a million times on this website, THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY IS NOT EVERYTHING. EIF1000 has a Kapton MT substrate. The Kapton provides great cut-through resistance. It meets the UL 94 V0 standard. It’s a highly efficient thermal management material. Any phase change material is required to be “burnt-in” to be properly managed. When burning-in, this expels all the air out of the system that would otherwise prevent thermal transfer in the application of the material. It comes in three iterations. Each one of these iterations come in different thicknesses of coating. Specifically, the white compound that is coated onto the EIF1000 is not electrically isolating, it’s the Kapton MT itself that provides the electrical isolation.

More Information on EIF1000 aka ISOSTRATE
EIF1000 comes in a color amber due to the natural polyimide color. Another name for this thermal interface pad is ISOSTRATE. This material is cut by NEDC into manufactured preforms for assembly in customer applications. NEDC manufactured these preforms through die-cutting, or other forms of converting.
