Panasonic's thermal management material, "Soft-PGS," is an ideal thermal interface material (TIM) solution designed with high compressibility characteristics to reduce contact thermal resistance between rough surfaces in extremely thin spaces. Custom cut to IGBT module footprints, Soft-PGS contributes to long life and increased performance of power modules by providing high thermostability and reliability in thermally sensitive areas. It is easy to install with a one-to-two step process that requires much lower labor and installation costs than thermal grease. Soft-PGS is a graphite sheet that is dedicated for use as a TIM. It offers very high compressibility compared to standard PGS, which reduces thermal resistance by following gap, warpage, and distortion of targets / substrates. Excellent heat resistance and reliability of Soft-PGS allows longer service life and higher performance of various components, such as semiconductors. Soft-PGS is cost-saving because it allows the reduction of existing thermal management processes. Unlike grease, Soft-PGS eliminates the need for the printing process, since it is a sheet-type product.
