3M Products and Solutions to handle Thermal Expansion in Electronics

Posted on Tue, Aug 19, 2014

Thermal expansion can wreak havoc on an electronic device. Is your attachment solution up to the challenge? 3M offers a number of electronics assembly solutions designed specifically to withstand high-heat exposure, so the integrity of your device won’t be compromised as the mercury rises.

Thermal GreaseExpansion and contraction can stress old-fashioned bonding methods, such as nuts and bolts. 

3M products are designed to adhere to different substrates, and maintain an iron-clad grip even as the surfaces expand and contract with temperature fluctuations.

Many of 3M’s modern, high-tech adhesives, however, are made to withstand this environmental stressor while providing you with added design flexibility.

Not sure which 3M product is best for your application?

Starting a conversation with your converter during R&D has numerous advantages. Not only does it ensure that you’ll get the right product, but it will also help you reduce waste and ensure that the production process is smooth and seamless. In order to get the best possible finished product, it is critical to give the converter the most detailed information possible so they can tailor the product to your precise needs.
