Thermal management is a core competency at NEDC. One of the core products we die-cut is graphite-based thermal interface material. Panasonic has a line that features incredible thermal performance! Panasonics PGS(Pyrolytic Highly Oriented Graphite Sheet) Thermal Graphite Pads feature ultra high thermal conductivity, and low thermal resistance.
Properties/Availability of PGS Thermal Graphite Sheets
PGS features thermal conductivity of 700 to 1950 W/m-K. These materials are made up of a layered internal structure. This material is made up of artificial graphite that allows for the material to have incredible thermal conductivity. PGS is applied to heat-sources mechanically, or through adhesive tapes. It spreads the heat in the A-B direction to rid the package of heat. It can be used as an EMI shielding solution as well. The graphite sheets themselves have high heat resistance, withstanding 752°F. These graphite sheets are lightweight, bendable, and easily cut into shapes. These products are free of silicone. In addition, PGS it is RoHS/REACH Compliant. “EYG” stands for PGS Graphite Sheet. There are 3 configurations available.
Configurations Available Elastomer, Adhesive backing, PGS Only
-Elastomer(SSM)
The elastomer version is electrically isolating with a high volume resistivity.
-Tape(adhesives available are thin- ranging from 30µm to 6µm depending on type chosen.)
-PGS only(this is with no adhesive)
Thicknesses available for the PGS material :
.10mm(100µm), .07mm(70µm), .050mm(50µm), .040mm(40µm), .025mm(25µm), .017mm(17µm), and .010mm(10µm).
Reasons to Select PGS Thermal Graphite for Your Application
PGS Thermal Graphite Sheets from Panasonic are often selected for the following reasons:
-Ultra Thin Thermal Transfer Lines are Required
-Electrically Conductive for EMI Shielding
-Environmentally Resistant material to many situations
More Information on PGS Graphite Sheeting
Naturally, different sheet sizes of these materials are available, and vary with configuration chosen. NEDC die-cuts or otherwise converts these parts into finished custom shapes.
