Improve Assembly Efficiency with THERM-A-GAP™ GEL 60HF
March 16, 2023
In manufacturing production facilities, every fraction of a section counts. Parts must be made and assembled quickly and correctly to meet customer demand and stay ahead of the competition.
To address this need and give our customers a competitive advantage, we’re proud to introduce THERM-A-GAP™ GEL 60HF. Part of the Parker Chomerics family of fully cured, silicone-based, dispensable thermal interface materials, this innovative gel is designed for high-performance heat transfer from electronics components to cooling features and flexible for use across industries and applications.
The “HF” in GEL 60HF stands for “High Flow,” and this product has earned that designation. It is ideal for high-volume dispensing applications and high throughput production operations, with thermal conductivity of 6.2 W/m-K and a flow rate of 80g/min. That’s three to four times the flow rate of other products which may only achieve flow rates of 20 g/min, marking a huge improvement in manufacturing.
Engineered for dispensing
THERM- A-GAP GEL 60HF is a single-component material. While some single-component materials have a reputation for being harder to dispense, THERM- A-GAP rises above, matching the increased flow benefits of two-part materials. This improvement provides manufacturers with the best of both worlds, enjoying the quick curing process absence of a curing process of a single-component material with the improved flow rate of a double-component material.
As with all Parker Chomerics thermal gels, THERM- A-GAP GEL 60HF is optimized for automated dispensing at various packaging sizes while retaining properties for easy rework and field repair situations. Its paste-like consistency enables very tightly controlled dispensing and accurate material placement during assembly. Additionally, it requires low compressive force to deflect under assembly pressure, subjecting components, solder joints and PCB leads to minimal stress.
THERM-A-GAP GEL 60HF has many applications, including:
- Consumer electronics
- Telecommunications equipment
- Energy storage devices
- Power electronics and modules
- Automotive control units and sensors
- Computing components (CPUs, GPUs, memory)
As an added bonus, THERM- A-GAP GEL 60HF is available in both gray and black, allowing customers to select the option that better works with their robotic vision systems specifications.
Like all thermal interface materials from Parker Chomerics, THERM- A-GAP GEL 60HF is put through vigorous reliability testing to ensure high performance in a wide variety of challenging conditions. Customers can rest assured that this new product combines the benefits they’ve come to expect from other gels with greatly upgraded flow, and that means improved product assembly efficiency.

PROVEN PERFORMANCE
The leader in Thermally Conductive Interface Materials.
We continue to advance technologies to bring new and enhanced capabilities and efficiencies.
Reduce EMI With Enhanced Board Level Shielding Components
Electronic system performance can be compromised due to electromagnetic interference (EMI), reliability concerns and frustrations over product quality and with the rising popularity in wireless technology, it’s becoming more of a problem than ever. The good news is there are steps you can take to shield your devices and safeguard your equipment from the risks associated with radio frequency (RF) interference. Utilizing board level shielding (BLS) is one such step.
This Is the Next Generation High Performing Thermal Gap Filler Pad
Looking for high thermal conductivity, yet ultra-soft thermal gap filler pad? Then you’ll want to take a close look at THERM-A-GAP PAD 60, which offers the enticing combination of both excellent thermal conductivity at 6.0 W/m-K, at a softness of 31 Shore 00. This makes THERM-A-GAP PAD 60 more than 40% softer than current-like-performance thermal gap pads from Parker Chomerics.

Non-Silicone Dispensable Thermal Gel for Automotive Infotainment and Camera Modules
Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) modules and infotainment panels have led the way in terms of advancement of electronic systems within passenger vehicles. As cars and trucks continue to modernize, advanced driver options are becoming standard in nearly every class of vehicle. While “electrification” and “EV” buzzwords have taken center stage in conversations about vehicle electronics, drivers of all vehicle types as well as passengers and pedestrians are the beneficiaries of advanced safety, navigation, and entertainment systems.
INNOVATION FOR THE FUTURE
The products you need to keep your electronics cool.
Parker Chomerics THERM-A-GAP™ GEL 40NS is a single-component, non-silicone, fully cured, dispensable gel with 4.0 W/m-K thermal conductivity.
Parker Chomerics THERM-A-GAP™ PAD 60 offers very low deflection, along with very low outgassing, to provide an effective thermal interface between heat sinks and electronic devices.
THERM-A-GAP GELs eliminate multiple thermal gap filler pad part sizes and their cross-linked gel structure provides superior long-term thermal stability and performance.
