Thermal Interface Materials

FUCHS TIMs

Timtronics was acquired by FUCHS. All former Timtronics products are now being sold under the FUCHS TIM brand.
 

FUCHS TIMs thermal interface materials are engineered to efficiently dissipate heat, ensuring reliable, safe, and optimized performance of electronic components. TIMs fill the air gap between heat-generating components, like chips or PCBs, and heat-dissipating surfaces, such as heat sinks or chassis. High thermal conductivity enables efficient heat transfer and rapid dissipation from critical hot spots, enhancing device performance and reliability. 

Unlocking the Benefits of FUCHS TIMs 

FUCHS TIMS are recommended for electronic applications requiring heat dissipation across a wide range of industries, including Automotive, Data Centers, Consumer Electronics, Telecommunications, Semiconductor, and Defense. Typical applications include CPUs and GPUs, data storage modules, ADAS control systems, electronic control units, power electronics such as MOSFETs and IGBTs, as well as various consumer electronic devices.

FUCHS TIMs offers several performance benefits including:

  • Excellent Thermal Conductivity

  • High Dielectric Strength

  • High Temperature Stability

  • Wide Compatibility

  • Silicone-Free

  • Easy Dispensing

     

Which TIMs is Right for You?

Selecting the right thermal interface material is critical to ensuring optimal reliability and efficiency in your application. Here are some key factors to consider:

Reworkability

Greases and putties allow easy removal while epoxies and potting compounds are permanent.

Mechanical Stability

Putty and liquid gap fillers are soft and forgiving whereas epoxies introduce stress on sensitive components.

Automation Compatibility

All types of TIMs except pads support automated dispensing. Pads are ideal for manual, repeatable assembly lines.

Contamination Sensitivity

Silicone-based TIMs can outgas and form films that reduce adhesion, and affect coating quality. Non-silicone materials offer low outgassing to protect sensitive electronics, optics, and cleanroom applications.

Thermal Interface Materials from FUCHS 

FUCHS offers a variety of thermal interface materials in various thermal conductivities, form factors and packaging options.

Our FUCHS TIM GREASE offers high thermal conductivity and excellent surface wetting capabilities at low bond line thickness, ensuring extremely low thermal interfacial resistance for efficient heat transfer. These cost-effective greases are suitable for various application methods including screen printing and automated dispensing. 

Key features:

  • Non-silicone & silicone formulations
  • NSF-registered, food-grade variants
  • TIM 700 Series: Electrically conductive greases formulated with high-purity silver and advanced resins, designed for microelectronics and high-temperature stability up to 150 °C for 1000+ hours.
