Technical Data Sheet LOCTITE TCF 2000AF Known as POWERSTRATE 51 October -2015 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION GENERAL INFORMATION LOCTITE TCF 2000 AFprovides the following product characteristics: For safe handling information on this product, consult the Technology Phase Change Material Safety Data Sheet, (MSDS). Appearance Black SURFACE CONDITIONS Operating Temperature up to 150C Different versions of LOCTITE TCF 2000 AF have been developed to Range address the variables associated with awide range of applications. As Application Thermal management ageneral recommendation, we suggest: Typical Assembly Thermal grease replacement in Surface Finishes 64 microinches or better Applications computing applications 1.6 microns or better Used between any heat dissipating Surface Flatness 0.002 inches/inch or better electrically isolated component and 0.002 cm/cm or better aheat sink or thermal solution DIRECTIONS FOR USE LOCTITE TCF 2000 AF phase- change thermal interface material is 1. LOCTITE TCF 2000 AF is completely re-workable. No foreign suitable for use between a heat sink and a variety of heat generating residue remains after disassembly. A replacement pad can be components .This product is supplied as a dry compound coated onto installed without further cleaning. an aluminum substrate . 2. Ifa clean surface is required, any presence of a compound can The compound is designed to flow at the phase change temperature, be easily removed with mineral spirits. conforming to the surface features of the heat sink and component . 3. LOCTITE TCF 2000 AF is not sensitive to mounting orientation Upon flow, air is expelled from the interface, reducing thermal due to its thixotropic rheology. impedance, performing as ahighly efficient thermal transfer material . 4. This product does not contain silicones and will not migrate from the interface area. LOCTITE TCF 2000 AF is supplied as die-cut preforms to match a wide variety of electronic components .Custom parts are also available AVAILABILITY upon request with low cost tooling . Pre-tooled pads are available for many commonly used electronic devices. MATERIAL PROPERTIES LOCTITE TCF 2000 AFmay be available as single diecut pads, multi- LOCTITE TCF 2000 AF is supplied in a range of pad sheets, or on continuous rolls for high volume production. compound thicknesses to match surface finish and flatness considerations in the interface area. LOCTITE TCF 2000 AFis also available with adhesive edgestrips for AF ease of assembly. In this case, the pad will be oversized so that the Substrate Type Aluminum adhesive is outside the thermal path. This enables the adhesive to be provided without compromising the thermal performance of the portion Thickness : of the pad in the contact areaof the thermal path.
