## **Tgard™ 3000 Series Thermally Conductive Insulators** 

## **HIGH PERFORMANCE THERMAL INTERFACE PRODUCTS** 

Tgard™ 3000 is specifically designed to solve overheating issues such as lower component efficiency, premature component failures, size limitations and other performance problems for today’s power component assemblies. The need to remove unwanted heat to ambient temperatures becomes more important as electronic systems pack more power into smaller spaces. 

Tgard 3000 is a film-based product that is designed to resist cut through in screw mounting applications while providing a more consistent breakdown voltage over other insulator constructions. The soft conformal coating on the film core provides an excellent mating surface for low pressure clip mounting applications. 

## **PERFORMANCE CAPABILITIES** 

- High dielectric breakdown of 6,000 volts 

- Film base resistant to cut through 

- Thermal resistance of 0.55ºC-in2/watt @ 50 psi pressure 

- Thermal resistance of 0.37ºC-in2/watt @ 400 psi pressure 

## **APPLICATIONS** 

- Switching mode power supplies for: 

- Communications 

- Consumer electronics 

- Industrial 

- Instrumentation 

## **FEATURES AND BENEFITS** 

- Designed for switch mode power supply applications 

- Reinforced with high temperature resistant film 

   - Medical 

   - Electrial power generators 

   - UPS units 

- High voltage resistant film
