In the electronics industry, films, tapes, and thermally conductive materials are essential for performance, protection, and reliability in both manufacturing and final products. They serve various functions such as insulation, conduction, mechanical protection, and thermal management.
Films and Tapes
-
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs – Copper Foils): Copper foils are a key component in rigid PCBs, providing the conductive pathways necessary for electrical signal transmission in nearly all electronic devices.
-
Flexible PCBs (Copper Laminates): Used in space-saving and bendable electronic designs (e.g. smartphones, wearables), copper-clad laminates combine flexibility with electrical performance.
-
Film Capacitors (Plastic Films): Dielectric plastic films (e.g., PET, PP) are used in film capacitors for their high insulation strength, stability, and reliability in electronic circuits.
-
Protective Films (During Semiconductor Manufacturing): Temporary films and tapes are used to protect delicate surfaces and components during production, handling, and transport — preventing contamination, scratches, or electrostatic discharge.
Thermally Conductive Materials
-
In Electronic and Electrical Products/Modules: Thermal interface materials (TIMs), such as pads, pastes, or gels, help dissipate heat from heat-generating components (e.g. processors, power modules) to heat sinks or casings, ensuring performance and preventing overheating.
-
Encapsulation of Semiconductors, Diodes, Network Transformers: Thermally conductive potting compounds or adhesives are used for the encapsulation of sensitive components. They offer thermal management, electrical insulation, and protection against environmental stress (e.g. moisture, vibration).
