Raychem Gel Based Products Provide Total Thermal Solution for Rambus RIMM Modules;.MENLO PARK Menlo Park. 1 Residential city (1990 pop. 28,040), San Mateo co., W Calif.; inc. 1874. Electronic equipment and aerospace products are manufactured in the city. Menlo College and a Stanford Univ. research institute are there. 2 Uninc. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 30, 1999-- Gel Material Offers High Thermal Conductivity, Softness and High Surface Tack; Heat Spreader spreader, n See condenser. Plate Meets Intel Requirements Raychem Corporation now offers a total thermal solution which includes interface material and a heat spreader plate for Rambus RIMM (Rambus Inline Memory Module) See RDRAM. See also RIM. modules. After extensive thermal and mechanical modeling and testing Raychem is now offering the HeatPath GTQ-HS2-R100 heat spreader and HeatPath GTQ GTQ In currencies, this is the abbreviation for the Guatemala Quetzal. Notes: The currency market, also known as the Foreign Exchange market, is the largest financial market in the world, with a daily average volume of over US $1 trillion. R100 interface material that cost-effectively maximizes heat transfer for Rambus RIMM modules. HeatPath interface material has been shown to provide exceptionally low thermal resistance and minimal mechanical stress on components due to its inherent surface wetting and softness. The HeatPath heat spreader plate meets Intel's requirements for 1.25-inch RIMM modules. The plates are available in a range of colors and with custom logos. "We have combined our popular HeatPath gel interface material and the Rambus/Intel heat spreader reference design together with high-quality assembly to provide a high-performance package which simplifies module makers' production and logistics," reports Greg Bischak, director of marketing. Furthermore, he points out, "The HeatPath GTQ-R100 gel interface material offers optimum thermal performance through its unique surface wetting and exceptional softness. At the same time minimal stress is imparted to chipset packages and manufacturing height tolerances can be accommodated. We believe we offer the best performing most cost-effective solution worldwide". The thermal interface material A Thermal Interface Material (aka TIM) is used to fill the gaps between thermal transfer surfaces, such as between microprocessors and heatsinks, in order to increase thermal transfer efficiency. These gaps are normally filled with air which is a very poor conductor. is soft and highly compressible com·press·i·ble adj. That can be compressed: compressible packing materials; a compressible box. com·press accommodating a range of gaps, tolerances and uneven surfaces. Thermal conductivity is 1.1 W/m(degrees)K. The HeatPath interface material consists of an alumina-filled silicone gel that provides excellent heat transfer capability. It incorporates a fiber glass carrier which improves handling and tear resistance. Inherently very tacky, it stays in position during assembly without the need for adhesives and can be easily removed. Laboratory measurements on simulated RIMM modules show lower device operating temperature when compared to materials with equal or even greater thermal conductivity. The HeatPath interface material is offered in a range of thickness from 0.25 mm to 1.0 mm. Customers can also purchase the interface material separately in easy-to-handle precut pre·cut adj. Cut into size or shape before being marketed, assembled, or used: precut fillet of fish; precut construction materials. tr.v. standard sizes delivered in bulk rolls on Mylar backing. The material can be attached to heat spreaders manually or with pick-and-place equipment. Pricing and availability Samples are available from stock. Standard delivery for production quantities is two to four weeks ARO. Price for the total solution is $0.65 per set for quantities of 50,000 pieces. A set consists of a heat spreader plate and the accompanying interface material. Standard packaging for the spreader plate is in covered plastic trays of 50 pieces. Prices for the interface material are in the $0.11 per square inch range depending on volume.
