Connected car has a more powerful electronics system than traditional gas car, in 5G times, huge heat will be generated by powerful electronics due to large amount of data transmission, like auto pilot. Thermal management is a extremely vital measure to ensure electronics system performing.

I received some inquiries from customer about thermal interface materials for automotive electronics including interactive system, What properties should be considered and how do we select? Here are suggestions.

Non-silicone thermal pad. The thermal conductivity of non-silicone thermal pad is ranked from 1.5W/mK to 6.0W/mK, providing low thermal resistance and low hardness, optimizing thermal performance. More importantly, there is no low molecular weight siloxane volatiles. We know that traditionl thermal silicone pad contained silicone oil, siloxane will volatilize under high temperature, the volatiles maybe affect performance of electronics component and make dispayer atomized. Non-silicone thermal pad can avoid this, offerring a better experience to customer.

Non-silicone thermal gel. Besides the benefits of no siloxane volatiles and high thermal conductivity, thermal gel provides extremely low thermal resistance which is much lower than that of thermal gap pad. Non-silicone thermal gel’s performance is as good as thermal silicone grease’s, but it never run like thermal silicone grease. What’s more, thermal gel never dry out or pump out, providing excellent stability and reliability.

GLPOLY thermal interface materials has been applying to automotive industry such as NIO Auto, GAC New Energy Vehicle, with proven reliability, help you solve thermal management problems for automotive electronics.
