User manual 3M BONDING HEAT SINKS

[. . . ] Application Profile Market: Printed Circuit Board Assembly Application Description: Bonding Heat Sinks. 3MTM Thermally Conductive Adhesive Transfer Tape Application Method Typically done manually. Die cut parts , pre-spaced on a release liner are used for application on the heat sink by a component supplier. PRODUCT 3MTM Thermally Conductive Adhesive Transfer Tapes 8805, 8810, 8815, 8820 Key Application Requirements High temperature adhesion and thermal conductivity. Products Replaced Grease, liquid conductive adhesives, phase change materials and solutions that use mechanical fasteners such as clips and screws. Benefits/Advantages To Customer High mechanical strength: 3MTM Tapes work well in high temperature environments, helping to keep heat sinks where they are supposed to be. [. . . ] Pure adhesive film construction: No carrier, that would hinder gap filling, is needed. This results in fewer material interfaces (a leading cause of poor thermal performance). 3M Industrial Business Process 3M supplies double linered 3MTM Thermally Conductive Adhesive Transfer Tapes to a converter. The converter die-cuts the tape into custom shapes and sizes as specified by a heat sink manufacturer. The die-cut parts may be left on a roll to facilitate automatic or manual application at the heat sink manufacturer. The heat sink manufacturer removes the die-cut Tape and applies it directly to the heat sink. Heat sinks are then shipped to the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) manufacturer. The remaining liner is removed and the heat sink is positioned and pressed into place on the PCB. Related Application Ideas Various shapes and sizes of heat sinks used on a variety of Printed Circuit Boards.
