3M™ Thermal Tapes, Pads, Epoxy

Guide To Selecting The Thermally Conductive Heat Sink Tape, Pads, and Epoxy Adhesives Solution For Your Assembly 

3mthermallyconductiveinterfacematerials-resized-148Designed to be the heat-transfer path between heat-generating components and heat sinks or other cooling devices (e.g., fans, heat spreaders or heat pipes), these materials are available with a variety of characteristics.

If you’re in prototyping phase of your project, reach out to our team. We can help determine the whole thermal management assembly solution – design collaboration, thermal material sourcing, and prototyping samples.

For Assembly of High Continuous Operating Temperature Components, Gleicher Customizes 3M™ Thermally Conductive (Heat Sink) Tape, Pads, and Epoxy Adhesives Solutions  

3M provides a full range of tape and adhesive solutions for attachment, bonding, joining, security, product identification and protection, to meet the requirements of the electronics industry. Thermal tapes, pads and epoxies provide high thermal conductivity by focusing on the 2 areas that matter most: bulk conductivity and interface conductivity.

There are three product formats to meet most LED lighting and electronics assembly challenges:

Thermal Tapes and Heat Shield Tapes:

This range of high adhesion thin thermal tapes offers bonding strength and efficient heat dissipation for applications such as heat sink mounting and LED lighting thermal management.  These thermal tapes provide excellent long term reliability, electrical insulation and flame retardant performance. 3M thermal transfer tapes are available in a variety of thicknesses to meet your most challenging thermal applications.  No mess, no clips, no long cure time!  Gleicher can expertly die or laser cut to your size or shape.

Thermal Heat Sink Pads:

3M also offers a line of silicone based thermal pads ranging in thermal conductivity from 1.0 W/m-K to 4.9 W/m-K. For applications using a thermal pad, the 3M Acrylic Thermal pads are slightly tacky on one side for generally acceptable assembly adhesion in many applications. 3M_Thermally_Conductive_Interface_Pad_Acrylic_5590H_Die_Cut_Laser_CutThe tack adhesion strength of the 3M Thermal Pads is sufficient for holding the product in place for assembly and use, etc. in many applications.

Specifically for LED Lighting Thermal Management, the end use design of the LED Structure/Thermal Pad/Heat Sink does require an added mechanical means of assembly to ensure long term mechanical integrity and thermal performance.
