What is a solid-state thermal solution?

A solid-state thermal solution uses discrete, pre-formed components, such as ceramic heat spreaders and thermal pads, to move heat away from electronic components. Because the parts aren't cured or bonded in place, engineers can reposition, resize, or replace the components as a design evolves.

When should you use a ceramic heat spreader and thermal pad system in a solar micro-inverter?

A ceramic heat spreader and thermal pad system is well suited to the design and validation phase, when component placement, heat source locations, or enclosure geometry may still change. Because the parts are discrete rather than cured in place, engineers can modify the thermal path quickly during development, helping reduce both cost and time-to-market ahead of finalizing a production design.

What power device packages does T-Global's thermal solution support?

The XL-25D/XL-25W ceramic heat spreaders are available in dimensions for standard power packages, including TO-220, TO-247, TO-264, and TO-3P.

What post-process customization options does T-Global offer for thermal pads?

T-Global offers a range of post-process services for thermal gap fillers, including multiple cutting methods, reinforcement options, lamination choices, liner selection, adhesive configuration, and custom labeling and packaging, so thermal pads can be tailored to a specific application rather than used as generic sheet stock.
