Thermal Management for LED Applications
At Rathbun, we specialize in creating custom thermal management solutions for LED applications. We convert high-performance thermally conductive materials to mitigate heat generated by LED lights in OEM and industrial devices, from electronic components to industrial lighting. Proper thermal management reduces the risk of damage due to excess heat, ultimately extending the lifespan of products and components that use LED lights.
Why is Thermal Management Important for LED Applications?
If not adequately treated with thermal management, LED lights can produce destructive excess heat that impacts performance or reduces the lifespan of a component or part. High junction temperatures (Tj) significantly reduce LED lights' lumen output and color quality. As temperatures rise beyond the maximum rated junction temperature, an LED module's lifespan is shortened.
Thermal interface materials (TIMs) can significantly help manage heat dissipation. They optimize thermal conductivity and minimize thermal resistance, helping keep junction temperatures low. These materials also allow for higher electrical currents without excessive thermal buildup. By implementing thermal management solutions, OEMs can protect against excess heat damage due to overheated LEDs.
Various materials, including tapes, pads, and adhesives, are used to provide thermal protection in devices with LED lights. These products offer dependable performance and protection against excess heat and other thermal challenges.
