Thermal jumpers deliver thermal management for AI data servers

Power supply designers for AI servers face considerable thermal challenges. Because of the size constraints for AI server rooms, many methods of heat reduction are impractical, need complex implementation, or are costly. Thermal jumpers provide a small size and low-cost option to lower PCB temperatures with simple implementation.

Stackpole Electronics’ TMJ series is a surface-mounted electrically isolated component that delivers excellent thermal conductivity, low capacitance, and high insulation resistance between terminals. The TMJ uses an aluminium nitride substrate to provide thermal conductance up to 216mW/C while maintaining electrical isolation for components that cannot be grounded.
