AMETEK® Al-SiC C Datasheet

Al-SiC materials provide superior thermal management for high technology electronics applications in a lightweight, cost-effective material.

Al-SiC C is a composite material that combines Silicon Carbide particles in an Aluminum alloy matrix. It provides lightweight, high thermal conductivity and controlled thermal expansion.

AMETEK can supply Al-SiC in either plated or unplated versions to customer specifications.

Key Advantages

• Superior thermal properties compared to other silicon carbide aluminum products.

• Thermal expansion is closely controlled to match the components used in electronic packages.

• Offered in both simple and complex fabricated shapes and in any variety of net shaped parts.

• Cost-effective solutions for many thermal management problems.

• Manufacturing process does not require a separate preform to produce the composite product.

Key Applications:
Al-SiC C is ideal for use in such electronic products applications as:

• Chip mounting

• Electronic packages

• Circuit boards

• Power supplies

• Thermal spreaders

• Lids and covers
