Cool-Pad CPR7154 thermal interface material dispenses like a thermal pad, but is said to show characteristics of a grease or gel when device temperatures increase to above 45°C.

The Torayfan biaxially oriented polypropylene (OPP) release film supports processing temperatures up to 160°C while maintaining thermal dimensional stability and release performance. The uncoated film is intended for use in IC substrate manufacturing, carbon fiber-reinforced plastic prepreg processing and other molding applications where fluorinated release films are commonly used. Compared with standard OPP film, the material exhibits reduced heat distortion at elevated temperatures, low moisture absorption, and low wettability, supporting clean release in contamination-sensitive processes. The film is suitable for dry-room environments and vacuum-based manufacturing steps such as vapor deposition and sputtering. 

The Gen 2 TMBS rectifier module series consists of 100V trench MOS barrier Schottky devices designed for industrial power conversion applications. Offered in a fully insulated, industry-standard SOT-227 package, the modules deliver forward voltage drops as low as 0.83V and support high current ratings with negligible reverse recovery charge. The lineup includes dual-diode parallel configurations rated at 100A, 200A and 400A, as well as a 150A single-phase bridge. Devices support operation up to +150°C and are intended for use in high-frequency converters, industrial SMPS, welding equipment, telecom power systems, 48V battery-powered vehicles and large battery blocking applications.
