# Drone Thermal Materials Applications

Drones concentrate high-power electronics in lightweight structures, creating hotspots in the flight controller, processor, ESCs, and RF modules. Excess heat can cause throttling, sensor drift, and reduced reliability during sustained flight.

Thermal interface materials (TIMs) build low-resistance heat paths to the frame or heatsinks to: ① stabilize performance and control hotspots; ② improve power electronics and battery reliability; ③ support thin, weight-sensitive designs with minimal added mass.

Overview

## Drone Thermal Interface Materials (TIMs) Solutions

Drones generate concentrated heat from the flight controller, processor, ESCs, and power modules in a lightweight, compact frame. Excess heat can cause throttling, sensor drift, and reduced reliability during sustained flight.

Thermal interface materials (TIMs) create low-resistance heat paths to the frame or heat spreaders—stabilizing performance and improving long-term reliability.

Benefits

## Lightweight Thermal Materials, Built for Stable Flight

**Reduce Hotspots, Stabilize Performance**

Quickly move heat from processors and flight-control electronics to the frame—less throttling and more stable operation in flight.

**Thin Gap-Filling, Secure Contact Under Vibration**

Conformable TIMs handle uneven surfaces and tolerance stack-ups—consistent thermal contact even with vibration and shock.

**Reliable Outdoors, Long-Term Durability**

Options designed for thermal cycling and wide temperatures—helping reduce aging and maintain performance over time.

**Fast Converting + Engineering Support**

Custom thickness and die-cut shapes for drone layouts—rapid sampling to speed validation and ramp to production.
