American Beryllia Inc.

American Beryllia Inc. is a leading worldwide manufacturer and distributor of Beryllium Oxide ceramic (BeO) heat sinks, crucibles, rods, washers, thermocouple tubing, and custom-made substrates for a diverse range of aerospace, defense, electronic and commercial applications. Beryllium Oxide, commonly called beryllia, is a space age technical ceramic material that offers a combination of desirable properties not found in any other ceramic material. Distinguished by excellent thermal conductivity BeO ceramic, it retains dielectric constant, loss factor and dielectric strength in the range of most electrical insulators. Along with good mechanical strength and stiffness to weight ratios, this unique combination of properties provides designers with a material that can reduce the size of heat generating circuitry while retaining essential high power capability and improved thermal stability. Typical applications BeO ceramic include heat sinks in high power electronics and semiconductors, and use as a heat dissipation medium in a wide range of miniaturized circuitry applications in the defense, aerospace and commercial markets.
