Many think that the mm-wave is a critical segment to pilot, massive data exchange generates a huge amount of heat, engineers are trying to design an effective thermal solution for SoC.

With the boom of EV and advancement of technologies, mm-wave radar (millimeter-wave radar) is getting more and more polpular. Thermal management becomes more imperative, and thermal interface materials are core of thermal management solution. For solving thermal management challenges of mm-wave radar, GLPOLY has developed several thermal interface materials such as thermal gel, thermal putty pad, here is case of thermal putty pad (high deflection thermal gap pad) applying to mm-wave radar.

A customer used Tflex HD80000 in the past, but he wanted to find a similar product substituting for this product due to supply chain disruption affecting by COVID-19 pandemic. It happens these two years due to supply chain change affecting by pandemic and trade war. I knew that Tflex HD80000 was a high performance thermal pad with a thermal conductivity of 6.0W/mK, and it provided good compression rate. These were the greatest strengths Tflex HD80000 had.

Certainly, I had an excellent product which was equivalent to Tflex HD80000,it’s called thermal putty pad or high deflection thermal gap pad XK-P60-Putty. This material has a thermal conductivity of 6.0W/mK too, and the compression rate is up to 90%. It deflects under low compression force, decreasing stress on component, thus decreasing component failures.

Customer requested some samples for testing, of course it’s available, samples were delivered in three days. Customer said he would carry out reliability test for 500hrs in the next months. One months later, customer called me and told me that device performed stably with a low temperature rise which is 15 Celsius degree lower than expected. Except the thermal performance, we provided a short lead time of 15 days and favorable price, which is 30% off comparing with price of imported products. Finally, GLPOLY XK-P60-Putty thermal putty pad (high deflection thermal gap pad) had been introduced into customer’s supply system for volume production.

GLPOLY thermal interface materials has been applying to automotive electronics such as ECUs, mm-wave radar, interaction system and displayer, 5G telecom equipment, . GLPOLY has partnered with LG, DJI Innovation, DT Mobile, GAC NE Motor, NIO Motor and more, providing technological thermal management solutions and exceptional performance thermal interface materials for them to design devices that run cooler and more reliably.

With GLPOLY thermal interface materials, you can be rest assured about thermal management.
