Hello everyone, today we are going to talk about how to choose silicone gel thermal conductivity. Many people are confused when buying silicone gel thermal conductivity: which one is suitable for my product? In fact, as long as you pay attention to a few key points, you can easily get it done!
1. Look at the thermal conductivity (W/m·K) first
The higher the thermal conductivity, the better the heat dissipation effect, but the more expensive it is. Choose according to needs:
Ordinary electronic equipment (such as routers, set-top boxes): 0.8~2.0 W/m·K
High-performance equipment (such as CPU, graphics card): 3.0~5.0 W/m·K
New energy/industrial equipment: 5.0 W/m·K or above
2. Look at the application scenario
Different uses require different forms:
Silicone gel thermal conductivity sheet: suitable for flat surfaces, easy to install
Thermal grease: suitable for irregular surfaces, filling gaps
Phase change material: automatic softening at high temperature, tighter fit
3. Focus on key performance
Temperature resistance: at least -40℃~150℃
Insulation: electronic equipment must be insulated
Softness: the softer the easier to fit
Is it flame retardant: UL certification is required for important occasions
4. Special needs should be considered
Need to customize the shape and size?
Need to print LOGO or special color?
Need special packaging?
5. Testing is very important!
Suggestions:
Test samples first
Perform aging experiments to check stability
Measure actual heat dissipation effect
