EV charger focus
Materials aligned to charger power stages — module interfaces, control boards, enclosure sealing and magnetics.
High-conductivity thermal pads and electrical insulation for AC and DC EV chargers — 3 to 6 W/m·K silicone pads for IGBT, MOSFET and SiC power modules, flame-retardant sealing foam for the enclosure, and aramid magnetics insulation, die-cut to your drawing for OEM production.
An EV charger is thermally closer to industrial power conversion than to consumer electronics, because the defining condition is duration. A charger runs near its rated output for the length of a charging session, so the design case is sustained steady-state dissipation, not a short peak the enclosure can absorb. The losses land in the PFC stage, the IGBT or SiC switching modules, and the magnetics — and they keep landing there for as long as the vehicle stays connected.
Outdoor and wall-box units then remove the easiest cooling option. To keep water and dust out they are sealed, so there is no through-airflow and effectively all heat leaves by conduction into the casting or heatsink. That puts unusual weight on the interface layer, since it is in series with every watt on its way out — a pad that bridges the gap badly raises module temperature for the whole session, every session.
Magnetics bring a second, separate requirement: winding and layer insulation rated for the temperature class the transformer actually reaches. That is a paper and film problem rather than a thermal pad one, and we supply aramid paper die-cut to the bobbin or core geometry alongside the pads. We supply EV charger thermal pads and magnetics insulation converted and die-cut to your drawings for OEM production.
Every watt the power stage loses has to travel the same road. The module temperature is whatever the ambient air is, plus the sum of every thermal resistance along that road.
Every watt lost in the PFC stage, the switching modules and the magnetics has to reach ambient air through the same chain: out of the module baseplate, across the interface, into the heatsink or sealed casting, and away. In an outdoor or wall-box unit the enclosure is sealed against water and dust, so there is no through-airflow to help — conduction is the whole story.
That makes the interface pad a genuine design component rather than an assembly afterthought. Its thermal resistance sits in series with everything else in the path, and at 6 W/m·K the pad's share of the total budget stays small even as module power climbs. Specify it against the measured case temperature and the real gap, not the headline number.
The four locations below cover the charger end to end — the power module interface, the control electronics, the enclosure seal and the magnetics. Each takes a different material family, and specifying them together at quotation is cheaper than buying them one at a time.
| Location | Grade | Conductivity | Common thickness |
|---|---|---|---|
| IGBT / MOSFET / SiC module interface | CP600 | 6.0 W/m·K | 0.5–3 mm |
| Control and driver boards | CP300 | 3.0 W/m·K | 0.5–3 mm |
| Enclosure sealing, vibration | MCF-PU | Not a TIM — UL94 HF-1 / HBF | 0.5–5 mm, custom |
| Magnetics — winding & layer insulation | NOMEX-CUST | Aramid, Class H | To drawing |
A sealed charger has no airflow margin to fall back on, so fill the gap properly before reaching for a higher-conductivity grade. Match the pad to the measured case temperature and the real stack-up, not to the largest number on the datasheet.
Both silicone grades are supplied as sheet with or without adhesive backing, and every part on this page can be die-cut to your drawing. Technical datasheets are linked per grade.

Grades most often specified for EV charger assemblies, drawn from the live catalogue.
Materials aligned to charger power stages — module interfaces, control boards, enclosure sealing and magnetics.
Electrically insulating silicone pads and aramid papers for live module tabs and Class H magnetics.

Supply terms. Standard sheet grades start at 10 sheets; die-cut TO-package shapes start at 50 pieces. Catalogue grades are typically dispatched within 7 days. Parts to a new drawing are quoted per job — send a DXF or PDF with the grade and thickness, and note that die cost is one-time, so the per-part price falls sharply with volume. Adhesive and non-adhesive options are available across the silicone grades. ISO 9001:2015, supplied to OEMs and contract manufacturers across India from Bengaluru.
6 W/m·K (CP600) is the usual choice at the IGBT, MOSFET or SiC module interface, because the module runs at high duty for the whole session. Control and driver boards are normally fine at 3 W/m·K.
Sealing the enclosure against water and dust removes airflow, so conduction is the only path out. The interface layer is in series with every watt leaving the module, which makes it a much larger share of the total thermal resistance than in a ventilated box.
Aramid paper for Class H service and aramid–polyester–aramid laminate for Class F, both die-cut to the bobbin or core geometry. That is a separate material family from the thermal pads and is quoted from the insulation paper catalog.
The micro-cellular PU foam we supply for sealing is specified from −40 °C to +100 °C with high set recovery, which is what matters for a gasket that must keep sealing after repeated cycles. For the silicone pads, confirm the expected case temperature with us and we will advise the grade.
Yes — send a DXF or PDF with the grade and thickness. Charger enclosures usually need several different die-cut parts, and quoting them together is cheaper than quoting them one at a time.
Send your specification — grade, thickness, size or die-cut drawing, and quantity — and our team will quote to your requirement.
