Are there any in-house Thermal Strap manufacturers?
In-House Thermal Strap Manufacturing: most commercially-available thermal straps on the market today are outsourced and repackaged from third-party machine shops. These products are stiffer than CuTS®, often plagued by dimensional non-conformities, tolerance & cleanliness issues, and offer poor performance at cryogenic temperatures.
Who is the inventor of the Thermal Strap?
Our Copper Thermal Strap (CuTS®) heritage began in 2004, with our first-generation solderless copper braided straps (offered until 2014). TAI was the first and only supplier to offer a fully customizable standard product line and catalogs, both created by our Director of Business Development, Tyler Link, in 2013.
How are thermal straps used in heat pipes?
These thermal strap products are made using conductive OFHC copper cable (“braid”), and end fittings (brackets used to fix the strap to a heat source and sink), to offer flexible heat transfer capabilities not found in heat pipes or other passive thermal solutions.
How big is OFHC UltraFlex I Thermal Strap?
OFHC UltraFlex™ I is our 0.10″ (2.5mm) diameter cabling. It was developed by our engineers in 2016, is only available from TAI, and is specifically designed to provide increased flexibility, while maintaining the same diameter and thermal performance as our previous TAI Standard OFHC copper braid.
