Stop-Choc® copper cushions
The Hutchinson Stop‑Choc® copper cushion fulfills several functions at once:
It ensures efficient heat transfer, compensates for tolerances, and protects sensitive components. Its design enables stable thermal conduction under variable installation conditions while reducing the transmission of mechanical vibrations.
Function
- Creation of a reliable thermal bridge
- Reduction of thermal contact resistance
- Compensation of tolerances between differing contact surfaces
- Damping of mechanical vibrations without transferring them to adjacent components
Technical Features
- Highly conductive copper material
- Consistent heat transfer even under dynamic operating conditions
- Manufacturing technology without loose wires
- High cleanliness and robust mechanical design
Optionally, the copper cushion can be used in combination with external temperature sensors to provide optimal thermal coupling for measurement points.
