Energy and national security have become central topics in today’s political landscape. Energy security is a critical component of military readiness, especially as the adoption of AI in both consumer and defense applications accelerates at an incredible rate. This surge in demand places increasing pressure on the power grid, which served 5.3 million customers in Ontario alone in 2020 (IESO).

Unfortunately, there is no “Plan B” capable of instantly replacing the power grid should it become compromised. Fortunately, numerous redundancies are in place to minimize the likelihood of such a scenario. People, machines and automated systems work around the clock, 365 days a year, to ensure the lights stay on in our homes, businesses, and data centers.

MG Chemicals, a Canadian manufacturer of materials for the electronics industry, announced today that it has become a trusted supplier of Thermal Interface Materials (TIMs) within the power grid automation industry.

TIMs from MG Chemicals are used in devices that directly support grid infrastructure, including automation systems, satellite clocks, and network switches. These devices operate 24/7 and often must comply with stringent performance and environmental standards, such as IEC 61850-3, which defines ruggedization requirements for substation-grade equipment, making reliability and durability core design priorities.

How manufacturers for the power grid and defence industry are using MG Chemicals TIMs in their designs:
•    Between processors and heat spreaders in sealed, fanless enclosures
•    As a TIM in conduction-cooled VPX modules
•    Under MOSFETs, IGBTs, VRMs, and DC-DC converters mounted to chassis walls
