Mounting Tape Said To Give Three Times the Thermal Conductivity of Competing Tapes
MH&W International has introduced Keratherm KL 90 highly thermally conductive, double-sided adhesive tape which provides 1.4 W/mK of thermal conductivity – said to be three times higher than other thermal tapes – for more effective heat transfer from hot components to heat sinks. The new tape’s thermal impedance is just 208°C-mm2/W (0.32°K-in2/W).
