Product Description
PTM7950SPS is an identical version of PTM7950-SP but with a slow drying solvent (S). PTM7950SPS is the paste version of PTM7950, a super highly thermally conductive Phase Change Material (PCM). It is designed to minimize thermal resistance at interfaces, maintain excellent performance through reliability testing, and provide scalable application at a competitive cost. Based on a novel polymer PCM system, PTM7950 exhibits excellent interface wettability during typical operating temperature ranges, resulting in extremely low surface contact resistance. PTM7950SPS is designed for automatic stencil printing manufacturing process, which largely helps with productivity and could be printed as low as 0.1mm. Check the comparison with pad version, PTM7950SPS needs extra drying steps after being printed and before assembly. Also, PTM7950SPS requires longer time for drying compared with standard PTM7950SP.

PTM7900 and PTM7950 are closely related thermal interface materials with slight differences in performance. PTM7950 features a softer composition, higher thermal conductivity, and lower thermal impedance, enhancing its overall thermal performance. Aside from these improvements, both materials share similar characteristics.

Additional Information
Honeywell PTM7950 is one of the most successful TIM products used in high power inverters and high performance computing devices. Ultra-low thermal impedance with minimum achievable BLT and superior long-term reliability make PTM7950 stand out from the competitors. PTM7XXX series also presents stability among vertical applications and pass automotive standard vibration test (Check the Vibration & Shock Test Report), thus PTM7XXX is currently widely used in automotive applications such as power inverters.

What is the difference between PTM7950 and PTM7950SP, PTM7950SPS?
PTM7950SP is the paste version of PTM7950 pad, they share exact the same properties. PTM7950SP has been added solvent to make it printable, thus needs extra drying step before assembly. Solvents can be adjusted so that the drying process is faster or slower. PTM7950SPS is slow drying version of PTM7950SP, it is designed for those who would like to have longer working windows.

How to achieve the minimum thermal resistance of PTM7950?
To achieve as low thermal resistance as possible for your device, you choose the material with high thermal conductivity, minimize the bondline thickness, and also improve the surface wettability. PTM7950 excels at the thermal performance since it could achieve minimum bondline as 17um and high TC as 8.5 W/m.K. Clamping pressure (30~40 psi) and temperature (at least 30mins@60°C) are suggested to achieve a minimum bond line thickness of the phase change material, typically less than 1.5 mil (0.038mm) for best performance. The material must go through the phase change temperature to exhibit entitlement performance. (Check PCM Application Note) .
The figures below shows the TI achieved using PTM7950.
What are the reliability expectations of the PTM7950?
All the 7XXXseries (PTM7000, PTM7900 & PTM7950) pass the three major reliability tests with flying colours. Honeywell does not test beyond 1000 cycles, 92 hrs HAST and 1000 hrs HTS. However, anecdotally, some automotive customers have taken 7900 to beyond Honeywell’s limits and have found it to pass shock and vibration, longer temperature cycling and longer temperature and humidity soak. (Check Reliability Report PTM7950)
If your lifetime performance is defined mainly by power cycling, then you also check the PTM6000 series which will have the longest life. The main difference between the 7XXX products is the filler content which makes PTM7950 the most conductive.
