EMI Shielding and Thermal Management Solutions

Chomerics is a global leader in development and application of advanced materials for emerging technologies in electronics, transportation and alternative energy systems. Chomerics is the first choice for EMI shielding and thermal management solutions for telecommunications,
information technology, medical devices, automotive, military, commercial and consumer electronics industries.

New catalogues offer complete range of thermal management and EMI extruded gaskets

New catalogues have been introduced for our thermal management products and EMI extruded gaskets. The catalogues contain comprehensive physical, electrical, thermal and regulatory information to enable you to select the most appropriate materials for your applications.

Thermal management products are detailed in a 60-page full colour catalogue that covers the company's industry leading range of dispensed gap fillers and pads, phase change materials, compounds, heat spreaders, greases and gels. The catalogue will also shortly be available in French and German language versions.

The 80-page, extruded EMI gasket catalogue provides detailed information for conductive elastomer extruded gaskets in dozens of standard and custom profiles. Also included is a useful elastomer gasket design section to help in the selection of the optimum gasket for different applications.

Both catalogues can be ordered via the Chomerics website or e-mail Chomerics_europe@parker.com.

Thermal gap-fillers combine high thermal performance with industry-leading conformability for demanding applications with low closure forces

THERM-A-GAP 569 and 579 offer excellent conformability for applications that require good thermal performance but have low-closure forces. Both materials have the same high thermal performance as the existing 570 and 580 lines of gap-fillers but with increased conformability.

THERM-A-GAP 569 has a thermal conductivity figure of 1.5W/m-k and achieves a deflection figure of 20% at a closure force of just 34kPa (5psi). THERM-A-GAP 579 meanwhile is the softest material available on the market with a thermal conductivity in the 3W/m-k range; it deflects by 22% at a closure force of 34kPa (5psi).

Both materials are available in pre-formed thicknesses of 0.02in. to 0.2in. (with custom thicknesses and mouldings available on request), provide electrical insulation (8KVac/ mm), and can be specified with a choice of either aluminium foil or glass fibre carriers. Materials supplied on an aluminium foil carrier incorporate a high strength, pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive to allow permanent attachment to cold surfaces.

THERM-A-GAP 569 and 579 pass NASA outgassing (UL E595), are rated UL 94 V-0 for flammability, and are RoHS compliant.

Chomerics introduces electrically conductive coatings for EMI shielding applications

CHO-SHIELD® 576 and CHO-SHIELD 579 electrically conductive epoxy coatings for shielding of electronic enclosures offer performance of up to 60 – 80dB in the 30MHz to 1GHz range.

The two component, silver-filled epoxy materials provide excellent EMI and environmental protection, and may be applied to a target surface using spray equipment or a brush. They are dry to the touch in less than one hour at room temperature and may be fully cured at elevated temperatures.

CHO-SHIELD 576 can be applied to glass, plastic or epoxy substrates and is suitable for copper/tin plating. CHO-SHIELD 579 offers a low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) rating of 357 grams/litre, 40% lower than its predecessor.

Both materials have a volume resistivity of 0.06 ohm/sq. and a shelf life (at 24°C) of 9 months.
