Pyrolitic Graphite Thermoinsulator

[ThunderSpirit]

I am working on a project which involves spreading the heat off of a camera sensor for astrophotography passively for now. Similar to what you guys do, in the end the goal is heat transfer and spreading. Some people use a peltier cooler to draw heat from the camera sensor as seen here http://astrophoto-sv.com/index.php?p=1_84

But I prefer not to immediately butcher my camera so after some research I ordered some of this from newark http://www.newark.com/jsp/search/pr...e&utm_source=AskAndAnswer&utm_content=Default


If I read the obnoxiously technical pdf data sheet correctly then I have purchased the version of this material which has an adhesive back and is rated as the highest conductivity. What I am unclear of is the electrical conductivity of this product, do I need to coat my cameras circuit board in a layer of non conductive material to prevent short circuits?

If you have not heard of this stuff here is an extensive pdf describing it's uses http://www.panasonic.com/industrial/components/pdf/pgs_info_0105.pdf and a youtube video

My goal is to apply a piece of this material to the back of my camera sensor as big as the camera body cut to the internal dimensions of the camera to internally dissipate the heat passively. I have to know what to do about electrical conductivity first.
please help.

Yes, at 10,000 to 20,000 S/cm it is electrically conductive.

What I'm wondering the most is how much more heat dissipation you expect to obtain by doing it internally. Because that's what you want to do if I'm reading correctly, right? I'm thinking it won't affect performance that much.

Cheers!

You should have a word with technogiant , he's been playing with that material in his build here http://www.overclock.net/t/1346823/subambient-full-submersion-phase-change-cooled-pc
