Process
3M supplies double linered 3M
™
Thermally Conductive Adhesive Transfer Tapes to a converter. The converter die-cuts the
tape into custom shapes and sizes as specified by a heat sink manufacturer. The die-cut parts may be left on a roll to
facilitate automatic or manual application at the heat sink manufacturer. The heat sink manufacturer removes the die-cut
Tape and applies it directly to the heat sink. Heat sinks are then shipped to the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) manufacturer.
The remaining liner is removed and the heat sink is positioned and pressed into place on the PCB.
