Prove Performance
Before OEM Qualification.

Independent, ASTM D5470-aligned thermal interface material characterization using the Siemens DynTIM Dynamic TIMs Tester.

Siemens Software Partner — Platinum Expert badge
Support faster OEM design decisions. Strengthen competitive replacement opportunities. Prove performance beyond the datasheet.

Catch failure modes before they become customer problems.

Datasheets show time-zero performance. Field failures happen after cycling. Dynamic TIMs Testing using the Siemens DynTIM Dynamic TIMs Tester can characterize pump-out, wetting, and thickness sensitivity where the agreed test scope includes cycling.

THE QA & RELIABILITY PROBLEM

Datasheets show time-zero performance.
Field failures happen after cycling.

Time-zero characterization does not describe behaviour after thermal cycling. Where the test scope includes cycling, measured before/after data gives QA teams a documented baseline for comparison.

TIME-ZERO BIAS
Datasheets miss aging
Initial Rth tells you nothing about pump-out, wetting issues, or degradation under thermal cycling.
MISSING BASELINES
No degradation baseline
Without pre-cycling characterization, root-cause analysis on field returns is largely guesswork.
QUAL SURPRISES
Late-stage failures
Behaviour not characterized early may only appear during customer qualification.

How QA & Reliability Teams Use It
→Detect pump-out, wetting issues, and thickness sensitivity
→Build material-specific qualification limits
→Establish degradation baselines for future root-cause analysis
→Reduce late-stage qualification surprises

Catch Failure Modes Before They Become Customer Problems.

Where the test scope includes cycling, characterization can establish degradation baselines and surface failure modes for further investigation.
