Low-modulus, high-conductivity Bergquist® GAP PAD® materials provide excellent conformability and low-stress thermal performance for IC devices not requiring a larger heat sink attachment.
Bergquist® and LOCTITE® thermally conductive adhesives are designed to provide excellent heat dissipation for thermally sensitive components. They are available in self-shimming and non-self-shimming options to satisfy application-specific requirements and ease of use.
One-part, liquid formable gel materials provide a balance between process flexibility, low component stress and high-reliability thermal performance. Dispensable for high-volume manufacturing, thermal gels are available in thermal conductivities up to 10.0 W/m-K, and provide a range of attributes including low volatility, high vertical gap stability, and reliability in challenging environments.
Telecom infrastructure components are located in outdoor environments, thus ensuring reliable long-term performance is critical. For dependable function, these components rely on strong electrical interconnects and robust thermal management solutions.

BERGQUIST® LIQUI-BOND liquid adhesives are high performance, thermally conductive, liquid adhesive materials. These form-in-place elastomers are ideal for coupling “hot” electronic components mounted on PC boards with an adjacent metal case or heat sink.
Available in a pressure sensitive adhesive or laminating format, the BOND-PLY family of materials is thermally conductive and electrically isolating. BOND-PLY facilitates the decoupling of bonded materials with mismatched thermal coefficients of expansion.
