MTC introduces innovative hybrid material for combined EMI attenuation and thermal management

MTC Micro Tech Components GmbH is expanding its extensive portfolio of thermally conductive products with the new TCMWA series. The thermally conductive and simultaneously absorbent hybrid material ideally combines the properties of thermal conductive pads and microwave absorbers and can be used in a wide range of applications, including telecommunications, 5G and wireless infrastructure, IoT/Industry 4.0, aerospace, network and cloud applications, medical technology and mobile systems. Sheet material as well as customized die-cut or molded parts with material thicknesses from 0.5 to 12 mm are available.

The soft material is used like a classic gap pad to transport heat between the heat source and the cooling element. 
The TCMWA series includes three product variants with thermal conductivities of 2, 3 and 4 W/m*K. At the same time, reliable absorption of electromagnetic radiation (EMI) and problem-causing frequencies in electronic components, such as ICs, CPUs, MOS and LED drivers, takes place. The hybrid material impresses with excellent attenuation performance, especially at high frequencies.

To avoid an increase of the EMI radiating area, heat sinks should not be mounted directly on a radiating component. Here, the thermally conductive EMI absorber offers the ideal cooling and solution as a multifunctional gap filler.
The optimized thermal management ensures long-term reliability and performance of heat-sensitive electronics while improving the electromagnetic compatibility of individual components or entire assemblies. This significantly minimizes sources of error, downtime and costs. 

The soft material of the new TCMWA series consists of a special micture of silicone and metal-ceramic particles, which give the hybrid absorber both thermally conductive and electromagnetically attenuating properties. The TCMWA formulation is halogen-free, and compliant, and is tested according to V-0 (flammability and fire safety classification of plastics). The wide working temperature range of the high-quality material extends from -60 to +180°C.

The front and back of the naturally tacky TCMWA material is provided with a peelable protective film upon delivery. Due to this material property, the minimum component load during assembly is ensured. The different material thicknesses of the standard sheets from 0.5 to 12 mm enable the exact fit in the respective customer application.

MTC Micro Tech Components GmbH has been a producer and solution provider for components in the field of (electromagnetic compatibility) and TCP (thermally conductive products for thermal management) for over 25 years. For the successful implementation of demanding applications, customers and system developers benefit from comprehensive services, many years of experience and professional know-how.
