I don't know of a "coating" for thermal conductivity, but check out Aavid/thermalloy (www.aavid.com) for their A-Pli material. Other companies to check are Thermagon (www.thermagon.com) and Bergquist (www.bergquistcompany.com) and Chomerics (www.chomerics.com) This last one may be the one you wanted. They have some "goop" for filling gaps. Good luck. You might check out www.electrobase.com and search on "heatsinks" and "thermal" Earl Wildes Sr. Component Engineer Korry Electronics Co. 901 Dexter Ave N.

Gregory [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Saturday, November 03, 2001 4:54 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Ruggedizing Assemblies... I know what I'm about to ask, probably won't get many responses...I understand. It has to do with ruggedizing assemblies, mostly having to do with thermal management. I've done some pretty extensive searching, and have read quite a bit about conduction cooling...but I've heard about a type of "Foam" or coating, that has recently been used to beat the heat...I can't find anything about it though. So per chance, I thought I would ask here...anybody know anything about this? As always, thanks a bunch!! -Steve Gregory- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8d To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt delivery of Technet send the following message: SET Technet NOMAIL Search previous postings at: www.ipc.org > On-Line Resources & Databases > E-mail Archives Please visit IPC web site (http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm) for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8d To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt delivery of Technet send the following message: SET Technet NOMAIL Search previous postings at: www.ipc.org > On-Line Resources & Databases > E-mail Archives Please visit IPC web site (http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm) for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
