As the development of alternative energy sources evolves to power our world, so do the demands on power electronics. High power conversions require higher frequencies resulting in higher temperatures, requiring materials that can withstand higher operating temperatures. Tribotec and Momentive offer silicone products that can be used for this type of application. Read more in our new brochure "Silicone for power electronics applications".
Examples of uses:
- Hybrid, electric and fuel cell vehicles
- Renewable energy
- Train
Typical applications:
- Power units
- Battery modules
- Electric motors
- Converters
- Inverters
- Battery pack
Silicone properties
Wide operating temperature = Operating temperature between -50 grC - 200 grC
Oxidative resistance = Resists deterioration due to ozone and UV exposure
Dielectric stability = No dielectric changes with temperature changes/impact
GEL = Good vibration damping
Our silicone product range for power electronics includes condensation and addition-curing silicones, thermal dissipation silicones and gels.
Silicone for thermal dissipation: The products in the "Thermal" range dissipate heat from critical components. Most cure with heat or at room temperature.
Silicone gel: Our GEL products are available as both 1 and 2 component with a wide range of viscosities and several different cure variants to allow for variable times and temperatures.
Addition-curing (thermosetting) silicone adhesive: Form a strong adhesive bond to most materials and seal against moisture and other contaminants. The products offer flexible curing times depending on the application requirements.
Condensation-curing (air humidity-curing) silicone adhesive: Cures at room temperature to form a strong adhesive joint that bonds most plastics and metallic materials. The products offer a fast tack-free finish, facilitating faster production.
To provide you with the right solution, we have both a wide and deep range of silicone for electronics applications. Feel free to contact us at an early stage, we will come on site to help you succeed with what you want to achieve.Read more about our range here or contact Kim Heden 0702-003135, product specialist at Tribotec.
Our supplier Momentive is one of the world's leading manufacturers of these materials.
