Thermal Tapes for Adhesive Bonding and Heat Conduction

Thermal tapes are thermal interface materials (TIMs) that have an adhesive on one or both sides. Like other types of TIMs, thermally conductive tapes are designed to move heat from a heat source to a heat sink. They support die cutting and conform well to surfaces that aren’t perfectly flat.

Thermal Pads and Thermal Films for Heat Dissipation

Die cut thermal pads and thermal films dissipate heat away from hot spots in LED lighting, consumer electronics, motors, and other applications. From material selection to precision die cutting, JBC Technologies can provide the thermal interface materials (TIMs) you need.

Graphite Gaskets for Thermal Management

Graphite gaskets are die cut from thermal interface materials (TIMs) with strong thermal conductivity. They resist thermal shock and dissipate heat evenly and rapidly across printed circuit boards (PCBs). Flexible graphite sheets support die cutting, bonding to foil, and the use of PSA adhesives.

Thermal Interface Materials (TIMs): Four Types of Die Cut Products

Thermal interface materials (TIMs) create a thermal path from a heat-generating component to a heat sink, a device that dissipates heat. With die cutting, engineers can choose graphite gaskets, thermal pads and film, thermal tape, and gap fillers. Learn how these die cut products compare.

How Pull Tabs Reduce Installation Costs

Pull tabs speed the installation of die cut parts. They reduce installation costs, but the benefits don’t end there. Pull tabs or extended liners protect die cut parts, make smaller parts easier-to-handle, and support the use of gloves.

Laminating Metal Foils to High-Temperature Insulation

Metal foils that are laminated to high-temperature insulation can increase the effectiveness of die cut heat shielding. Aluminum foils reflect radiant energy and reduce the amount of heat that high-temperature insulation must absorb. Metal foils also support micro-perforating and embossing (kalotte)
