Service & reparation Request a quoteWaste heat management, thermal runaway protection in batteries and electronic packaging is becoming more and more important as power densities of these devices increase. Thermal management of these complex systems is not trivial and requires a fundamental understanding of how components and interface materials work together to shed heat.
The LINSEIS Thermal Interface Material Tester (TIM-Tester) is the perfect solution for thermal management optimization of these complex systems
The TIM Tester measures the thermal impedance of sample materials and identifies an apparent thermal conductivity for a wide range of materials from liquid compounds and pastes to hard solid materials. The approach is consistent with the ASTM D5470 – standard.
- Automatic pressure adjustment using electric actor (up to 8 MPa)
- Automatic thickness determination using high resolution LVDT
- Instruments working according to ASTM D5470
- Full integrated, software controlled device
