Commercialization of siloxane-free, high-performance heat conductive sheet (F-CO TM sheet V30)
- Realizes the highest level of electrical insulation and heat resistance in the industry -
Furukawa Electric Power Systems Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Yokohama-shi, Kanagawa Prefecture; Managing Director: Michio Okuno; hereinafter referred to as “our company”) of the Furukawa Electric Group has commercialized a high-insulation, elastic, siloxane-free1(note 1), high-performance heat conductive sheet (F-CO TM sheet V30).
TM sheet V30 realizes the highest level of electrical insulation and heat resistance in the industry among non-silicone-type products and is characterized by its softness and high elasticity.
Background
A heat conductive sheet is a material that closely connects a heat source, such as a CPU or board relay, with a cooler, such as a heat sink, and conducts heat effectively away; it is essential to electronic parts whose performance has been improving.
An acrylic sheet is a conventional and representative siloxane-free sheet, but it has low insulation, it is hard and has poor elasticity, and it has a heat resistance of 100ºC or below. When a sheet is used in conditions of high heat of 100ºC or above, a silicone sheet has to be used; however, there have been concerns about issues such as poor contact due to the production of siloxane.
