Applications

Image of linecard with heatsink inserts
Micro thermal interface coatings

microTIMs are ultra-thin durable thermal interface material coatings which are applied to networking line card riding heat sinks. microTIMs enhance the thermal performance between riding heatsinks and POMs and withstand up to 500 insertion and pulls.

Phase change materials

High performance CPUs, GPUs, ASIC and FPGA devices must effectively dissipate heat for proper function. Bergquist® phase change materials are the optimal solution, providing low thermal impedance and high pump out resistance.

Thermal gel

We have both 1-part thermal gels and 2-part thermal gap fillers available. Dispensable for high-volume manufacturing, thermal gels are available in thermal conductivities up to 10.0 W/m-K. While our thermal gap fillers have a thermal conductivity of up to 4.5 W/m-K. 

Thermally conductive adhesives

Bergquist® and LOCTITE® thermally conductive adhesives are designed to provide excellent heat dissipation for thermally sensitive components. They are available in self-shimming and non-self-shimming options to satisfy application-specific requirements and ease of use.

Thermal GAP PAD® materials

Ultra low modulus Bergquist® GAP PAD® materials provide excellent conformability, low-stress and high thermal performance conductivity up to 12W/mK across a wide range of data center infrastructure products.

Underfill

Underfills offer improved mechanical integrity and reliability for fine-pitch array components and certain IC components. Available in reworkable and non-reworkable formulations, underfills effectively protect component interconnects with low bump heights.

Routers/switches

The use of advanced materials in server motherboards and line cards for routers and switches provides a huge upside in scale, performance, and cost reduction. One small uptick in performance, repeated thousands of times, has a huge impact on router and switch performance.
