Tgard 5000 Series Thermally Conductive Insulators THERMALLY CONDUCTIVE ELECTRICALLY INSULATIVE MATERIAL Tgard 5000 is an excellent dielectric material with good thermal performance consisting of a polyimide film coated with a ceramic-filled, high-temperature silicone rubber. Tgard 5000 is ideal for applications that require a delta temperature across the interface of 2.0C/watt or higher on a TO-220 clip mounted 50 psi pressure. Tgard 5000 has high dielectric strength for the AC side of a switching mode power supply. Tgard 5000 is tough resulting in an exceptional cut-through resistant material. FEATURES AND BENEFITS APPLICATIONS High dielectric breakdown voltage of 6,000 volts Switching mode power supplies Film base resistance cut through Electrial power generators Thermal resistance of 0.40C-in2/watt 50 psi clip UPS units pressure Thermal resistance of 0.23C-in2/watt 400 psi screw pressure Americas: +1.847 839.6907 IAS-AmericasEastSales lairdtech.com Europe: +44.1628.858941 IAS-EUSales lairdtech.com Asia: ++86.21.5855.0827.127 IAS-AsiaSales lairdtech.com CLV-customerservice lairdtech.com www.lairdtech.com/thermalTgard 5000 Series Thermally Conductive Insulators PROPERTIES TEST METHOD METRIC VALUES IMPERIAL VALUES ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES Dielectric withstand voltage ASTM D149 4,500 volts DC 4,500 volts DC 50mm probe for 30 sec Dielectric breakdown voltage Avg >6,000 Avg >6,000 ASTM D149 50mm probe volts AC volts AC 12 12 Volume resistivity ASTN D257 10 ohm-cm 10 ohm-in Dielectric constant 1Mhz ASTN D257 3.4 3.4 MECHANICAL PROPERTIES Thickness 0.127 mm 5 mils Hardness ASTM D2240 75 Shore A 75 Shore A Tensile strength ASTM D412 33.1 Mpa 4.8 Kpsi Elongation along width or length ASTM D412 45% 45% Operating temperature range -60 to 180C -76 to 356F Color Tan Tan UL flammability rating UL 94 V-0 V-0 PRESSURE UNITS 10 25 50 100 200 400 (69) (172) (345) (689) (1379) (2758) TOTAL THERMAL RESISTANCE 2 Modified ASTM D5470 C-in /watt 0.62 0.51 0.40 0.27 0.25 0.23 2 Modified ASTM D5470 C-cm /watt 4.0 3.29 2.58 2.06 1.61 1.48 T0-220 C/watt 1.31 1.00 0.82 0.65 0.58 0.54 Configurations available: Sheet form, roll form and die-cut parts Single-side, pressure-sensitive adhesive on request Standard options: Without adhesive (A0): 12 x 18 sheets, 12 x 65M, 12 x 30M roll or custom configuration With adhesive (A1): 11.75 x 18 sheets, 11.75 x 30M roll or custom configuration Standard die cut parts: Standard part sizes for TO-220, TO-247, TO-3P, TO-3PL and TO-264 Custom die cut parts: Custom configurations available with standard tolerance of 0.5mm (0.020).
