Thermal Impedance Meter for Thermal Interface Materials
Anter Corporation has developed the Quickline(tm)-50 Thermal Impedance Meter to address a pressing need in the electronic packaging industry to measure the thermal resistance of thermal interface materials, including phase change materials. This new device (patent pending) accounts for the bulk material as well as its interface resistances, offering significant improvements, says Anter, over existing methods in speed, range, accuracy and ease of use.
Instrument options are available to suit a range of temperatures (ambient, ambient to 100°C, ambient to 200°C), pressure loading (incrementally up to 200psi) and material types (pads, films, sheets, gels, pastes). The easy-to-use Windows(tm)-based software provides fully automated operation and reporting, including tests involving sequential temperature points.
Anter, an ISO 9001:2000 certified company, is a leader in producing thermophysical properties analysers used in determining thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and specific heat capacity of a wide range of materials. The company supplies equipment and provides testing services to research and quality assurance laboratories world-wide.
