| New technology for network devices PSUs Laird Technologies introduced the T-gard 5000--a thermally conductive, low-cost, film-based electronic insulator for switching-mode power supply (SMPS) devices used in telecommunication and computer networking products. T-gard 5000 is available immediately. For Laird Technologies Thermal Products, a unit of Laird Technologies, the innovative T-gard 5000 strengthens the company's success in the established market for thermally conductive insulator materials. Based on Laird Technologies' expertise in high-volume manufacturing, T-gard 5000 offers SMPS manufacturers a solution that is both superior to fiberglass insulation in dielectric strength and consistency as well as less expensive than competing film-based products. Thermally conductive insulators used on discrete electronic power components require a material that is able to both insulate electrically and conduct heat at the same time. Moreover, the material must provide mounting stability during SMPS manufacturing and assembly to prevent cut-through damage, which leads to electrical shorts. T-gard 5000 is a ceramic-filled silicone conformal coating on a high-temperature polyimide film, providing higher electronic insulating and thermal conductivity qualities than fiberglass-based insulators. This more flexible film-based insulator, while thinner and less expensive than fiberglass, offers superior cut-through resistance. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
