Basic concept of thermal conductive adhesive
Thermal conductive adhesive, as the name suggests, is a type of adhesive material with excellent thermal conductivity. It can not only provide good thermal conductivity while bonding components, but also effectively prevent overheating problems and ensure the long-term stable operation of electronic components. Thermal conductive adhesive is usually composed of high thermal conductivity fillers (such as metal oxides) and adhesives. By combining these components, high thermal conductivity and good bonding effect can be achieved.
Application scenarios of thermal conductive adhesive in electronic products
(1) Electronic component heat dissipation
In various electronic products, components such as chips, processors, and LEDs generate a large amount of heat. Excessive temperature not only affects the efficiency of these components, but may also lead to damage. Therefore, good heat dissipation design is the key to ensuring stable operation of electronic products. The application of thermal conductive adhesive precisely solves this problem. It quickly dissipates the heat generated by electronic components through good thermal conductivity, effectively reducing the operating temperature of the components.
(2) Combination of heat sink and circuit board
Common heat sinks in electronic products, such as aluminum or copper ones, are typically used to reduce component temperature. But in order to ensure effective contact between the heat sink and the circuit board, it is usually necessary to use thermal conductive adhesive to fill the gap between the two. Thermal conductive adhesive can not only improve heat dissipation efficiency, but also enhance the bonding strength between the heat sink and the circuit board, ensuring long-term stable use.
(3) Application of LED Lighting
The service life and performance of LED lighting products are often affected by temperature. In order to improve the heat dissipation effect of LED lights, thermal conductive adhesive is widely used between LED modules and heat sinks. Thermal conductive adhesive can quickly and effectively dissipate the heat generated by LED chips, avoiding light decay and malfunctions caused by overheating. Especially in high brightness LED lighting fixtures, the use of thermal conductive adhesive is an important means to improve heat dissipation efficiency and extend service life.
(4) Thermal Management in Mobile Devices
In mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, processors GPU、 Memory and other components generate a large amount of heat during operation. With the continuous enhancement of mobile device functions, heat dissipation issues have become increasingly prominent. In order to optimize thermal management, thermal conductive adhesive is widely used inside devices such as mobile phones and tablets, especially between the motherboard, processor, and heat dissipation module, to ensure that the device can maintain a low temperature during high-performance operation.

Characteristics and advantages of thermal conductive adhesive
(1) High thermal conductivity
The biggest characteristic of thermal conductive adhesive is its excellent thermal conductivity. It can effectively dissipate heat from electronic components, preventing performance degradation or failure of equipment caused by overheating. In some high-performance electronic devices, the thermal conductivity of thermal conductive adhesive is a key factor in ensuring the normal operation of the product.
(2) Excellent adhesion
In addition to excellent thermal conductivity, thermal conductive adhesive also has strong adhesive strength. It can ensure tight contact between the heat sink, circuit board, and other electronic components, thereby improving thermal conductivity efficiency. In addition, the adhesion of thermal conductive adhesive can enhance the mechanical fixation of various components and reduce the impact of vibration and shock on the equipment.
(3) High temperature resistance and stability
Thermal conductive adhesive usually has good high temperature resistance and can work stably for a long time in high temperature environments. This is particularly important for electronic devices that run for a long time. The high temperature resistance of thermal conductive adhesive ensures that it maintains good thermal conductivity even under high temperature conditions of electronic components.
(4) Environmental friendliness
With the increasingly strict environmental regulations, the environmental friendliness of thermal conductive adhesives has become an important indicator. Nowadays, more and more thermal conductive adhesive materials on the market use environmentally friendly and harmless raw materials to meet the requirements of green manufacturing and reduce the impact on the environment.
Selection and use of thermal conductive adhesive
(1) Considerations for choosing thermal conductive adhesive
When choosing thermal conductive adhesive, multiple factors need to be considered comprehensively, including thermal conductivity, adhesive strength, temperature resistance, material environmental friendliness, and usage environment. For example, for some high-power electronic devices, it may be necessary to choose thermal conductive adhesives with stronger thermal conductivity, while for some precision devices, more attention may be paid to their adhesion and stability.
(2) Coating method of thermal conductive adhesive
The coating methods of thermal conductive adhesive usually include spraying, brushing, dripping, etc. Different coating methods are suitable for different application scenarios. For example, spray coating method is suitable for large-area coating, while drip coating method is more suitable for precise control of dosage. Regardless of the method used, it should be ensured that the thermal conductive adhesive can be evenly coated on the contact surface to ensure optimal thermal conductivity.
(3) Curing time of thermal conductive adhesive
Thermal conductive adhesive requires a certain amount of time to cure after use. The length of curing time can affect production efficiency, so when choosing thermal conductive adhesive, its curing speed should also be considered. Generally speaking, the curing time of thermal conductive adhesive is closely related to factors such as environmental temperature, humidity, and the type of colloid.
