2-Part Encapsulation and Potting Silicone
Featured Product from CHT USA Inc.
QSil-553
2-Part, Thermally Conductive Silicone Potting Compound and Encapsulant, UL Listed
CHT's QSil 553 is a 2-part, platinum cure, silicone potting compound and encapsulant designed to protect electronic components from harsh environmental conditions and shock and vibration. It features a low viscosity for convenient dispensing and will easily flow throughout components. Because of its low modulus, QSil 553 will minimize cooefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) strain. QSil 553 is thermally conductive to aid in efficient heat dissipation. This silicone elastomer is also flame retardant and is UL Listed in file QMFZ2.E205830.
Silicone Encapsulants for Thermal Management
SILCOTHERM® thermally conductive silicone encapsulants can be used in potting applications to dissipate heat away from a component to a suitable heat sink. They also provide protection from harsh environments, vibration and thermal shock. Addition cure silicones provide deep section cure allowing for complete encapsulation for environmental protection whilst maintaining an effective heat path.
With the continued miniaturization and expanding population of components that comprise electronic devices, mitigation of generated heat is an ongoing issue today. To achieve operational stability and longevity, thermally conductive materials are often incorporated within the device to aid in heat dissipation. With the addition of specialty fillers, CHT’s silicone formulations can be customized to facilitate the flow of heat to or from electronic components in an assembly.
