GraphiteTIM

Our thermal interface material, based on soft graphite material technology which offers a low thermal resistance on both axis to reduce heat source temperature and prolong the lifetime of your device.

Leading thermal conductivity meets high compressibility

GraphiteTIM specially designed by Panasonic as Thermal Interface Material for IGBT, SiC and GaN power modules and other high power applications.
It offers highest thermal conductivity, simple installation and highly stable performance even after thousands of power cycles thanks to our highly crystallized graphite technology.

Panasonic GraphiteTIM enables an extended lifetime of your device while decreasing the total costs of ownership and simplifying maintenance work.

Low initial thermal resistance
Stable performance for full lifetime
Easy installation and handling

1. Low thermal resistance

The high thermal conductivity and high compressibility of GraphiteTIM effectively fills voids and flattens the surface roughness between the heat-source and heat-sink.

Initial thermal resistance is reduced by the applied pressure, reaching its optimum between 300kpa and 600kpa.

2. Stable performance for full lifetime

Graphite is chemically stable for a long period compared to grease or phase change materials.

As solid sheet, it shows no pump-out or drying effects even after years of usage.

3. Easy installation and handling

Easy to attach and remove from the cooler and module.

No need for high equipment investment in production, simply exchange in the field is easily manageable.
