TM Tmate 2900 Series Phase Change Material Innovative Technology for a Connected World FOR EXCEPTIONALLY LOW THERMAL RESISTANCE The Tmate 2900 Series is a reusable phase change material (PCM) designed for ease of testing and rework ability. It has a composite construction of a special malleable metal alloy and a high-performance PCM. At 50C, the Tmate 2900 Series begins to soften and flow, filling the microscopic irregularities of the thermal solution, thus reducing thermal resistance. It shows no thermal performance degradation after 1,000 hours 130C, or after 500 cycles from -25C to 125C. The PCM softens and does not fully change state, resulting in minimal migration (pump-out) at operating temperatures (see viscosity curve). It is available in three thicknesses: 0.005 (0.125 mm), 0.010 (0.25 mm), and 0.020 (0.5 mm).
