86 SMT007 MAGAZINE I APRIL 2024 dure cannot be used to detect defects in crimp materials. Instead, the tensile test must only be used as a tool to verify that the tool and the action of crimp is correctly performed.

James Hopkins from T-Global discusses the company's focus on thermal management products, including thermal interface materials, heat sinks, and thermal simulation services. He highlights the importance of collaborating with mechanical engineers and addressing challenges in balancing thermal performance and mechanical requirements. Hopkins also mentions the role of thermal simulation in guiding product recom- mendations and the significance of early collaboration among stakeholders for optimal product outcomes.
