Vishay Thin Film has launched a new product that provides an electrically isolated thermal conductive pathway to a ground plane or heat sink for associated devices while maintaining the electrical isolation of the device.
The ThermaWickTM thermal jumper can increase the power handling capability of connected components, or extend their life under existing conditions, while maintaining a neutral potential to the heatsink or chassis.
Additional key advantages of the ThermaWick thermal jumper:
• Electrically isolated thermal conductor
• Low capacitance
• Significant reduction in temperature of associated devices (> 25 %)
• Improve overall circuit reliability by protecting adjacent components from thermal loads
• Configurations
- SMD case sizes from 0603 to 2512
- Long side terminations in the 0612 and 1225 case sizes for additional heat transfer
- Custom sizes available
• Available with lead (Pb)-bearing or lead (Pb)-free (RoHS-complaint) wraparound solderable terminations
