Thermal Conductors

With the increase in heat dissipation from microeletronics devices and the reduction in overall form factors, thermal management becomes a more and more important element of electronic product design.

PPI’s Thermal Conductors are a passive heat exhanger that transfers the heat generated by an electronic device to a thermal ground plane or any specific thermal point where it gets dissipated away from the device.

Our Thermal Conductors are available in a variety of sizes including standard EIA case sizes and are contructed using Aluminum Nitride (AlN) or Beryllium Oxide (BeO).
