Thermally Conductive Insulators
HIGH PERFORMANCE THERMAL INTERFACE PRODUCTS
Tgard™ 3000 is specifically designed to solve overheating issues such as lower component efficiency,
premature component failures, size limitations and other performance problems for today’s power
component assemblies. The need to remove unwanted heat to ambient temperatures becomes more
important as electronic systems pack more power into smaller spaces.
Tgard 3000 is a film-based product that is designed to resist cut through in screw mounting
applications while providing a more consistent breakdown voltage over other insulator constructions.
The soft conformal coating on the film core provides an excellent mating surface for low pressure clip
mounting applications.
