I am in the process of performing a thermal evaluation and am using thermocouples to measure surface temperatures of IC's, etc. I'm finding that the thermocouple tape that I'm using tends to experience a degradation of the adhesive as the temperatures increase (in the 80-100°C range) causing the thermocouples to separate from the surfaces. I'd appreciate any advice that could point to a higher performing tape/adhesive for such an application. Some of the IC's are quite small which doesn't leave much surface area for adhesion and I am using as many as 40 thermocouples per card.
Thx, Joe ********************************* <<...>> Joe Finlayson Manager, Compliance Engineering Telica, Inc. 734 Forest Street, Bldg.
