THERM-A-GAP™ GEL 35VT Reliability Report (TR 58940)

2023-12-27
■Executive Summary
●THERM-A-GAP™ GEL 35VT is a one-component, dispensable thermal interface gel material with 3.5 W/m-K thermal conductivity. It was developed to conduct heat from electronics to heat sinks or enclosures and perform reliably in vertical, high vibration, and harsh environments. The “VT” suffix in the product name stands for “vibration/vertical and tackiness” as this material was thoroughly tested during development to withstand rigorous reliability testing within vibration and vertical slump testing.
●THERM-A-GAP GEL 35VT requires no mixing or secondary curing and is designed for easy application and rework. The tackiness of GEL 35VT serves the added benefit of displacing air at thin bond lines and minimizing thermal impedance. It can be dispensed at various bond line thicknesses to take up gaps created by assembly or manufacturing tolerances. This document outlines the examination of the thermal reliability of this high-performance gap filler after being subjected to long-term environmental aging under dry heat, heat & humidity conditions, and temperature cycling from -40°C to 125°C.
●The thermal performance of THERM-A-GAP™ GEL 35VT was examined after being subjected to multiple environmental stress tests.
●The thermal impedance of the aged samples did not experience a significant increase after any of the treatments studied. After 1000-hour dwell at 125°C, 1000 hours at 85°C/85% relative humidity, and 1000 temperature cycles from -40°C to 125°C, there was no statistically significant increase in impedance according to one-way ANOVA with the Tukey method for multiple comparisons. The mean value for thermal impedance decreased slightly for each aging treatment, indicating an improvement in thermal performance. This improvement can likely be attributed to enhanced wetting at the interface between the gel and the reliability fixture.
●Based on these results, THERM-A-GAP™ GEL 35VT demonstrates the ability to withstand long- term aging without a reduction in thermal performance.
