Power supply units (PSUs) are rapidly evolving. They’re getting smaller, more efficient, and more thermally demanding—and that shift is putting new pressure on materials, converters, and manufacturing partners. As performance requirements rise, so does the need for high-precision converting capable of delivering cleaner cuts, tighter tolerances, and consistent thermal stability.
In other words: better power electronics demand better materials engineering.
Thermal Management: The New Design Bottleneck
Shrinking PSU footprints don’t leave much room for heat to escape. Thermal management has quickly become one of the toughest design constraints engineers face.
Foamtec helps PSU manufacturers solve these challenges with:
- Thermal interface pad converting for efficient heat transfer
- Graphite sheet converting for ultra-thin, high-performance dissipation
- High-temperature adhesives that maintain bond strength under load
- Cleanroom manufacturing to protect sensitive components
These solutions help ensure that today’s compact designs run cooler, safer, and more reliably.
Rising Electrical Insulation Requirements
As switching frequencies increase and PSU layouts become denser, insulation performance matters more than ever. Even small variances can result in electrical leakage, arcing, or premature component failure.
Foamtec delivers a range of high-reliability insulation materials, including:
- Polycarbonate and polypropylene (PP) insulators
- FR-4 dielectric barriers
- EMI/ESD foams for noise suppression
- Low-particulate converting for clean, consistent output
These options help engineers hit creepage, clearance, and safety targets without sacrificing efficiency.
Vibration, Shock & Structural Bonding
Today’s PSUs face tougher environmental conditions—smaller housings, tighter mounting areas, and more demanding applications. That means vibration and shock resistance are no longer nice-to-haves; they’re essential elements of long-term reliability.
Foamtec supports these needs with:
- Vibration-damping foams
- Structural bonding aids
- High-temperature laminates for stability under repeated thermal cycles
Supply Chain Stability Matters More Than Ever
With global PSU demand growing, manufacturers can’t afford delays or material inconsistencies. Foamtec ensures supply chain resilience through:
- Thailand-based manufacturing for cost-effective, high-volume production
- U.S. distribution for shorter lead times
- ISO, RBA, and VDA-aligned compliance
- A proven track record, including more than $4M YTD sales to Delta Group
This combination of capacity, quality, and reliability reduces production risk and keeps programs moving.
Enabling the Future of Power Electronics
Next-generation PSUs demand next-generation materials and converting capabilities. Foamtec’s expertise in thermal management, electrical insulation, and structural bonding helps engineers push performance limits while maintaining reliability and manufacturability.
As power electronics continue to shrink and intensify, Foamtec is positioned to help manufacturers build cooler, stronger, and more stable systems—today and for years to come.
