Understanding Thermal Gap Filler Pads, PCB Deflection, and Stress

Presented by Christian Miraglia, Applications Engineering Manager

Date: June 16th
Time: 1 PM EDT (10 AM PDT / 7:00 PM CEST)
Duration: 1 Hour

Register for this webinar to learn the compression characteristics of gap filler materials and PCBs, and how they impact the overall deflection and stress in an electronic assembly.

Overview

Thermal gap filler pads are regularly used for transferring heat from high power components to heat sinks and spreaders. As thermal conductivity increases so does the increase in modulus. The ever-increasing heat flux continues to drive the need for higher performing gap filler increase.

Join this webinar to discover the compression characteristics of thermal gap filler pads, with an applied understanding to a PCB assembly. Attendees will have a better understanding of what basic analytical techniques and tests can be performed to understand stress as well as defection in both gap filler pads and PCB.

Key Takeaways

  • Understand the impact of compression on PCBs
  • Discover the impact of compression of gap fillers on PCB deflection
  • Become familiar methods to test for board deflection
  • Learn a basic analytical approach to understanding board and gap filler pad deflection
