As the demand increases for electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) worldwide, manufacturers must also cope with the increase in 12V or 24V accessories that traditionally have been powered by an alternator. In EVs and HEVs, this alternator is replaced with a DC/DC converter which can transfer the energy between the power source and on board accessories.
The amount of heat dissipated is dependent on the output load and converter efficiency. The control and evacuation of this heat is called thermal management. Prudent thermal management will result in long term reliable operation and allow maximum power utilization in a minimum amount of space.

The recommended solution for this automotive component manufacturer was to dispense Parker Chomerics THERM-A-GAP® GEL 30 in various patterns onto the heatsink.
A 300cc cartridge solution was implemented and will eventually convert to high volume manufacturing using a 1 gallon pump unit (1 GPU) and valve dispensing system.
This gave the customer a lower deflection force, excellent thermal performance, all in a solution that was easier to dispense with an overall competitive total value to thermal pads or thermal grease.
Parker Chomerics THERM-A-GAP® GEL 30 fit the needs and the specifications of the automotive component manufacturer’s requirements. High volume dispensed thermal interface materials are ideal for automotive applications where cost, time, and efficiency are of the utmost importance.
