Flexiramics Reaches Breakthrough in Thermal Conductivity
May 13, 2022 | PRWEBEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Flexiramics B.V. is pleased to announce that their Flexiramics-E thin film products have reached a bulk thermal conductivity of 1.8 W/mK in the Z-direction. This breakthrough result makes the thermal conductivity of Flexiramics-E thin film twice as high as any other thin film available on the market today.
Flexiramics-E prevents sub-optimal performance of electronic components
Integration and microelectronic packaging technology are causing the power density of electronic components to increase, while their dimensions and those of electronic devices are getting smaller and miniaturized. This causes the generated heat to rapidly accumulate, thus resulting in sub-optimal performance of electronic components. Therefore, the heat dissipation of electronic components has evolved into a major focus of current electronic components and electronic device manufacturing.
Thermal conductivity compared
The thermal conductivity of the circuit boards is particularly low for flexible substrates, and this remains a critical bottleneck regarding improved heat dissipation. Especially in the out of plane (Z) direction. Most commercially available materials have a Tc between 0.2 and 0.8 W/mK in the Z-direction. Flexiramics-E thin polymer films have achieved 1.8 W/mK in the Z-direction. And future generations can achieve even higher values. As additional benefits, Flexiramics-E thin polymer films exhibit significantly increased dimensional stability in thermal cycling thanks to lower CTE vs. pure polymer.

Mastering PCB Floor Planning
08/28/2025 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAPlacement of PCB components is far more than just fitting components onto a board. It’s a strategic and critical foundational step, often called “floor planning,” that profoundly impacts the board’s performance, reliability, manufacturability, and cost. Floor planning ties into the solvability perspective, with performance and manufacturability being the other two competing perspectives for addressing and achieving success in PCB design.

Elementary, Mr. Watson: Why Your PCB Looks Like a Studio Apartment
08/13/2025 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonIn November 2022, I wrote a column called "Is Your Bathroom in the Kitchen?" This piece related a bizarre real estate listing that emerged out of St. Louis that had architects scratching their heads and interior designers cringing. Nestled in the historic Central West End sat a 200-square-foot apartment that completely defied logic. It wasn't the size that raised eyebrows, it was the layout. Here's the kicker: While that's rare in real estate, it's shockingly common in PCB design.
From Factory Floor to ‘The Component Store’
07/25/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007Daniel Beauvois began his career in PCB manufacturing 15 years ago with zero industry experience—just a willingness to learn. Daniel immersed himself in every step of circuit board production, from hanging out on the factory floor to giving plant tours. Now, as founder of The Component Store, he’s an independent sales rep known for integrity, persistence, and deep technical knowledge. In this interview, Daniel reflects on his journey, the realities of being an outside rep, and what it takes to earn—and keep—a customer’s trust in an ever-evolving electronics industry.
