Chomerics is aiming its latest thermal interface gel at thin heatsink bonds. GEL 50TBL (TBL – thin bond line) offers 5W/m.K bulk thermal conductivity and, “at a minimum bond line thickness of 0.05mm, the apparent thermal conductivity exceeds 10W/m.K”, according to the company. However, “the material is primarily for thin bond lines and is not ...

Bourns has introduced a series of gas discharge tubes for protecting equipment against high-voltage surges. The bidirectional GDT28H series has devices with breakdown voltages from 1 to 3.3kVdc, and all are 8mm in diameter and 6mm long, with out without axial leads. Picking the nominally 2kV GDT28H-200 as an example, breakdown is between 1,600 and ...

Toray Industries says it has developed a film that can efficiently absorb millimetre wave band electromagnetic waves employed in 5G communications and elsewhere. The film delivers an absorption capacity of at least 20 decibels (99%) for millimetre waves and makes it possible to select absorption frequency. It is one-fifth the thickness and one-tenth the weight ...
