Pyrolytic Graphite Sheet (PGS) Thermal Management

Pyrolytic Graphite Sheet, or PGS, is an ultra-thin, lightweight, graphite polymer film with a thermal conductivity high enough to release and diffuse the heat generated by heat sources such as processors, power amplifiers and batteries. With a thermal conductivity up to five times greater than copper, PGS is extremely pliable and can be applied to heat-source shapes in high-density mounting situations.

FEATURES

  • Thermal conductivity: 700 to 1950 W/(m-K)
  • High stability, no deterioration with age
  • Simultaneous solution for thermal and electromagnetic wave problems
  • Thin, flexible, and easy to cut or trim
  • Thickness options and semi-sealing material available

APPLICATIONS

  • IC tester, probe card, board tester
  • Network switches, modems, multiplexers
  • Electric and gas meters
  • Cameras, fire alarms, smoke/heat detectors

Panasonic Detector Switches

Detector Switches are used to “detect” internal mechanical movements and convert human manual operations, such as the opening of a door , to electronic signals. Panasonic Detector Switches use a mechanical sliding spring design to ensure consistent signal output. They also feature long travel, thin profile, compact size, light weight, highly flexible actuation angles and surface mount or J-bent terminal mounting options. In some applications, Detector Switches are used to replace Encoders as a lower cost solution.
