Copper Thermal Straps

Product Details

(Click to enlarge image) Thermal Straps made with flexible copper cabling or braid (known as CuTS®), also referred to as "heat straps," "conductive thermal braids," or "flexible thermal links," are a unique thermal management solution offering passive thermal control and vibration isolation. These flexible thermal devices are used in a wide range of applications in the cryogenic engineering and light source industries, in equipment ranging from cryocoolers to cryostats, dilution refrigerators, cold boxes, and cryomodules. They are also used by aerospace and engineering companies specializing in photonics, semiconductors, optical systems, electronics boxes, satellites, and various laboratory test platforms.

CuTS® are manufactured here at TAI using OFHC copper cabling ("braid") and end fittings (brackets used to fix the strap to a heat source and sink), and they offer a combination of capabilities not found in heat pipes or other passive thermal solutions. Our solderless, heat-free manufacturing process, refined over decades and tens of thousands of units, optimizes flexibility while minimizing contact resistance losses, resulting in a highly efficient link; ideal for heat transfer at nearly any operating temperature.
