DOW Launches DOWSIL TC-3120 Thermal Gel for Advanced Electronics
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
DOW introduced DOWSIL TC-3120 Thermal Gel for heat-heavy optical and automotive electronics.
DOW says the gel delivers ~12 W/mK conductivity, limiting oil bleed and condensed outgassing.
DOW notes it's flowable and reworkable to 200-micron bondlines, built for thermal cycling.
Dow Inc. (DOW - Free Report) has introduced DOWSIL TC-3120 Thermal Gel, a new silicone-based thermal transfer material designed to enhance heat management and optical grade cleanliness in optical transceivers, telecommunications, electronic module assemblies, autonomous vehicles and automotive electronic controllers that generate significant amounts of heat.
The superior quality material also supports 800G and 1.6T optical modules. Featuring a thermal conductivity of approximately 12 W/m·K, it offers the highest performance in minimizing oil bleeding and condensed outgassing, among Dow’s commercially available silicone gels.
Optical-grade cleanliness, a key advantage of DOWSIL TC-3120 Thermal Gel, minimizes the risk of contamination in photodiodes, lenses and optical fibers. This helps improve the long-term reliability by reducing interference with adhesion and resulting optical failures.
Supplied as a flowable paste, the gel can be pressed to a minimum bondline thickness of 200 microns, enabling effective heat transfer. It is also reworkable, fills large gaps, and supports accelerated curing through heat application. DOW’s new addition is expected to deliver exceptional thermal performance without compromising reliability. Installed with ultra-high-Kappa material, it is readily dispensable and supports controlled extrusion rates.
Designed to withstand high temperatures, humidity, vibration, shock and repeated thermal cycling, it forms a stable interface that resists cracking and slumping. DOWSIL TC-3120 Thermal Gel is now available globally as part of Dow’s Cooling Science portfolio.
DOW has gained 24.1% over the past year compared with the industry’s 12.2% growth.
