Thermally conductive potting compounds: λ-values explained | SILITECH

Even the best heatsink is useless when power electronics overheat – unless the heat can escape from the encapsulated component. Thermally conductive potting compounds with a high λ-value do exactly that: They protect electronics from environmental influences while simultaneously dissipating waste heat.
