Tape
Thermally Conductive Attachment Tapes
DESCRIPTION
THERMATTACH
®
double-sided
thermal interface tapes provide
exceptional bonding properties
between electronic components and
heat sinks, eliminating the need for
mechanical fasteners.
THERMATTACH
®
tapes are proven
to offer excellent reliability when
exposed to thermal, mechanical,
and environmental conditioning.
They are offered in a variety of
configurations, as detailed in the
typical properties table.
