Learn How to Cool Consumer Electronics in our February 23rd Webinar
“Thermal Management of Consumer Electronics” is the topic of our next webinar, on Thursday, February 23rd, 2PM EST. The free webinar will cover:
Consumer electronics are now being used in places that were once exclusive to business and military electronics. Products like Apple’s iPhone and iPad are sophisticated technologies with powerful processors housed in small spaces with restricted airflow. As a result, these devices, and others like them, are providing many new benefits, but they also bring higher thermal management needs. Attendees will learn the available cooling options, and important factors such as the importance of spreading resistance in component and system thermal management.
The webinar is going to be chock full of great information cooling consumer electronics. The webinar is free and taught by Dr. Kaveh Azar, one of the worlds foremost authorities on heat transfer. Click here to register: “Thermal Management of Consumer Electronics“

Customer sees 40% reduction in BOM cost from ATS Thermal Engineering
Can you save 40% off the BOM cost of your thermal management solution? You bet you can, here’s a one minute case study describing how ATS did exactly that with one OEM manufacturer
Thermal Interface Material Supplier List
We’ll be having our November webinar, “Understanding and Choosing the Best Thermal Interface Materials to Improve Heat Sink Thermal Performance ” on Thursday, November 17th at 2pm. There’s no cost to join in the conversation.
In the meantime we thought we’d list many of the current thermal interface companies in the market today to give you a “one stop” shop to source the right thermal interface material for your next project. Here’s the list, all links worked based on testing here at QATS.
- Fujipoly: Thermal putty and gap fillers.Don’t discount this stuff! Worth a look for bridging the IC to the case without a heat sink. Also useful where you need to fill in spaces with odd shapes. In some applications can be near to phase change material performance
- Chomerics: One of our faves. Phase Change Material (PCM) that works almost as good as grease but with none of the mess. You must have the proper pressure over time on the heat sink to the PCM to make this work well. Obviously, we would recommend our superGRIP or maxiGRIP for that task.
- Bergquist: Various types of thermal material. Just announced a new phase change material type.
- 3M: Thermal tape, pads and epoxies
- AI Technology: Phase Change Material and Thermal Grease
- Laird Technology: Gap filler, Phase Change Material, Thermal Grease
- Honeywell: Phase Change Material and the innovative printable thermal material good to 150 degrees C.
- Shin Etsu: Thermal greases, thermal gels, Phase Change Material and more
- Dow Corning Thermal: Various thermal interface materials in both pads and films
- Locktite Thermal: I won’t kid you, we aren’t fans of thermal epoxies but in some cases you just have to do it. Locktite has some nice products for that and we know several telecomm OEMs using them.
- NuSiL: Offers low outgassing thermal interface material
- Indium: Metal thermal interface materials
