Product Description

PTM7950 is a super highly thermally conductive Phase Change Material (PCM) in both pad and paste formats. It is designed to minimize thermal resistance at interfaces, maintain excellent performance through reliability testing, and provide scalable application at a competitive cost.

PTM7950 ,based on a novel polymer PCM system, exhibits excellent interface wetability during typical operating temperature ranges, resulting in extremely low surface contact resistance. Since PTM7950 comes only in 0.25mm (thicker versions are under development) you need to be sure that this thickness is compatible and suitable for the flatness of your package.

PTM7950 is a proprietary material that provides superior reliability (pass 150˚C baking 1000 hours, T/C-B 1000 cycles) and maintains low thermal impedance (<0.04˚Ccm2/W @ no shim), making the PTM7950 series desirable for high performance integrated circuit devices.

Technical Specifications

General Properties
Specific Gravity
Specific Gravity
Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume.

For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless.

Volume Resistivity
Volume Resistivity
Volume resistivity, also called volume resistance, bulk resistance or bulk resistivity is a thickness dependent measurement of the resistivity of a material perpendicular to the plane of the surface.

Thermal Properties
Thermal Conductivity
Thermal Conductivity
Thermal conductivity describes the ability of a material to conduct heat. It is required by power packages in order to dissipate heat and maintain stable electrical performance.

Thermal conductivity units are [W/(m K)] in the SI system and [Btu/(hr ft °F)] in the Imperial system.
 8.5 W/m.K
Thermal Impedance 0.04 °C·cm²/W

Additional Information

Product Use
Clamping pressure and temperature are suggested to achieve a minimum bond line thickness of the thermal interface material, typically less than 1.5 mil (0.038mm) for best performance.
The material must go through the phase change temperature to exhibit entitlement performance.

What are the reliability expectations of the PTM 7XXX products?


All the 7XXXseries (7000, 7900 & 7950) pass the three major reliability tests with flying colours. Honeywell does not test beyond 1000 cycles, 92 hrs HAST and 1000 hrs HTS. However, anecdotally, some automotive customers have taken 7900 to beyond Honeywell’s limits and have found it to pass shock and vibration, longer temperature cycling and longer temperature and humidity soak.
If your lifetime performance is defined mainly by power cycling, then you also check the 6000 series which will have the longest life.
 
The main difference between the 7XXX products is the filler content which makes 7950 the most conductive.
