Leaders in Advanced Thermal Management for High-Power Electronics

TCLAD specializes in advanced thermal management solutions engineered to meet the stringent performance demands of high-power and high-reliability electronic systems. Our core technologies include Thermally Conductive Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs/PWBs) and Thermal Interface Materials, all produced within our vertically integrated manufacturing facility in Prescott, Wisconsin.

Designed to efficiently dissipate heat and maintain electrical integrity, TCLAD products enable higher power density, improved system efficiency, and enhanced durability. Our materials and processes are optimized to minimize thermal resistance, reduce warpage, and ensure consistent reliability under harsh operating conditions.

TCLAD supports a wide range of industries, including aerospace and defense, automotive, and industrial automation, providing engineering collaboration, rapid prototyping, and custom design support to solve complex thermal challenges from concept through production.

Products

Insulated Metal Substrate

TCLAD’s IMS® solutions are engineered for extreme thermal performance, offering lower thermal impedance, better heat conduction, and greater durability than FR4 PCBs. They are trusted in aerospace and defense applications such as radar power supplies, directed-energy systems, and drone power units where reliability and thermal efficiency are essential.

Thermal Interface Materials (TIMs)

TCLAD offers a broad portfolio of high-performance thermal interface materials engineered to efficiently transfer heat between components and heat sinks or enclosures. Our range includes Thermal Pads, Gap Fillers, Greases, Gels, Phase Change Materials, and Thermally Conductive Inks — all RoHS compliant and designed to enhance heat dissipation in high-power electronic assemblies.

Overcurrent Protection (OCP)

TCLAD offers a comprehensive portfolio of overcurrent protection devices, empowering engineers to monitor load currents and respond quickly to potentially damaging electrical events. Trusted across a wide range of industries and applications, our circuit protection solutions enhance system reliability, improve efficiency and support user safety.

Thermal Clad Dielectric Materials

TCLAD offers the industry’s most extensive range of dielectric materials, providing unmatched design flexibility across a variety of PCB formats – from insulated metal substrate (IMS®), to prepreg (PP) composites, thin core series (TCS), and rigid copper-clad (RCC) laminates.

Immersion Cooling Fluids

TCLAD immersion cooling fluids are high-performance liquid dielectrics specifically engineered to deliver highly efficient thermal management for densely packed, high-heat-generating electronic systems. These advanced fluids are electrically non-conductive and fully non-corrosive, enabling the safe submersion of sensitive electronic equipment while providing direct, highly effective heat transfer at the source for superior cooling performance.

Board Level Solutions

At TCLAD, our engineers innovate to manage and reduce heat in high-performance systems. As power density grows, designers need advanced materials that enable solutions that withstand extreme conditions and operate at higher temperatures, voltages, and switching frequencies. Effective thermal management is essential for long-term efficiency and reliability.

Surface Mount Thermal Bridge

TCLAD’s surface-mountable thermal bridge (SMTB) technology greatly improves heat spreading capacity across printed circuit boards (PCBs), reducing hotspots and enhancing overall thermal dissipation efficiency. This advancement enables designers to reduce system size and cost by eliminating the need for bulky heatsinks and complex thermal management methods.
