Tgard 3000 Series Thermally Conductive Insulators HIGH PERFORMANCE THERMAL INTERFACE PRODUCTS Tgard 3000 is specifically designed to solve overheating issues such as lower component efficiency, premature component failures, size limitations and other performance problems for todays power component assemblies. The need to remove unwanted heat to ambient temperatures becomes more important as electronic systems pack more power into smaller spaces. Tgard 3000 is a film-based product that is designed to resist cut through in screw mounting applications while providing a more consistent breakdown voltage over other insulator constructions. The soft conformal coating on the film core provides an excellent mating surface for low pressure clip mounting applications. PERFORMANCE CAPABILITIES APPLICATIONS High dielectric breakdown of 6,000 volts Switching mode power supplies for: Film base resistant to cut through - Communications Thermal resistance of 0.55C-in2/watt 50 psi pressure - Consumer electronics Thermal resistance of 0.37C-in2/watt 400 psi pressure - Industrial - Instrumentation FEATURES AND BENEFITS - Medical Designed for switch mode power supply applications Electrial power generators Reinforced with high temperature resistant film UPS units High voltage resistant film 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 3000 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 3.3 3.3 MECHANICAL PROPERTIES Thickness 0.13 mm 5 mils Hardness ASTM D2240 80 Shore A 80 Shore A Tensile strength ASTM D412 43.4 Mpa 6.3 Kpsi Elongation along width or length ASTM D412 35% 35% Operating temperature range -60 to 180C -76 to 356F Color Brown Brown 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 0.86 0.68 0.55 0.44 0.40 0.37 2 Modified ASTM D5470 C-cm /watt 5.55 4.39 3.55 2.83 2.58 2.39 T0-220 C/watt 1.36 1.08 0.91 0.83 0.78 0.74 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 ).
