there are several advantages to using phase-change material (pcm) rather than conventional thermal grease as the thermal interface material (tim) between the power module and heatsink. vincotech offers modules with a layer of pre-applied pcm. the thermal interface material is applied in a layer with uniform thickness by a screen-printing process. this document describes the benefits of this phase-change material and provides tips on handling modules. there are several advantages to using phase-change material (pcm) rather than conventional thermal grease as the thermal interface material (tim) between the power module and heatsink. vincotech offers modules with a layer of pre-applied pcm. the thermal interface material is applied in a layer with uniform thickness by a screen-printing process. this phase-change material is thixotropic and therefore will not flow without the application of pressure. standard soldering profiles may be used. a lid or a foil can prevent the phase-change material’s surface from coming into contact with the soldering oven’s carpet.
