The customer's new design for a DC-DC power converter required a more efficient, high-volume solution for the application of thermal management materials.
For previous-generation designs, silicone pads were applied in several locations between the DC-DC converter's printed circuit board and metal housing. Use of the pads presented several inventory and production-related issues, including:
- Operator handling difficulty for the thin sheets
- Manual and time-consuming application process
- Sourcing of silicone pads in many different sizes and thicknesses
Any new material solution had to provide thermal performance similar to or better than that achieved with the silicone pads.
-
Reduced overall production costs by 20 to 30% -
Achieved its 15% volume increase objective -
Secured global supply continuity and technical support in all manufacturing regions -
Reduced inventory complexity as gap filler can be applied in infinite patterns and thicknesses -
Eliminated operator-induced errors and defects
