Next Week at the IEEE PES T&D 2026!

Hill Technical Sales will be at HVR, Siba, and Amran's booths at the IEEE PES T&D 2026

Next week, Hill Technical sales will be at the IEEE PES T&D 2026! Join us May 4-7 at the McCormick Place; we’d love a chance to connect.

There are three booths that we will be supporting this year. If you’re dealing with transmission or distribution changes, this is a fantastic opportunity to meet directly with our various engineering teams!

We will be attending with:

HVR Advanced Power Components – Booth 4550

HVR specializes in ceramic composite and high-energy resistors, including wire/tape-wound and grid designs, along with SiC varistors. Our team can review applications such as energy dump, pre-charge, discharge, neutral grounding, and RC snubber designs for medium and high voltage systems.

SIBA Fuses – Booth 3645

SIBA’s engineering team are experts in fuse solutions for energy storage, data centers, PV, and inverter systems. At the show, we’ll be discussing DC and AC protection strategies, including 800VAC fuse applications for improved system efficiency. And excitedly, SIBA’s President, Adeeb Suliman, will be available for technical discussions.

Amran Instrument Transformers – Booth 2813

Go to Amran for low and medium voltage CTs and VTs for metering, protection, and control applications. If you are evaluating specifications, we can help you review ratings, accuracy class, burden, insulation level, and environmental requirements to identify the best solution.

Bus Support and Feed-Through Insulators

At any of the booths, you can talk to Hill Tech Salesman Andy Hill about our bus support solutions and feed-through insulators!

Also, while you’re at the show, you don’t need to scour the city for a quality Chicago souvenir. We’ve got that covered for you! We’ve commissioned local artist Sunfreys (www.sunfreys.com) to design giftshop-quality coasters, featuring the lovely Chicago skyline artistically rendered with an overlay of the city’s flag. Pick one up for free at HVR’s booth.

If you are interested in dedicated time at any of these booths, please email sales@hilltech.com with your availability and the products you are interested in. But if you’re schedule is tight or you want to keep things open, please feel free to stop by at your convenience. We are looking forward to seeing everyone there!

APEC 2026

APEC Convention Floor

We’re going to San Antonio’s largest annual power electronics convention: APEC 2026! Join our Hill Technical salesman, Andy Hill, on March 23-25. He will be at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, TX at four different booths:

Kendeil – Booth 219

Kendeil produces high-performance electrolytic and power electronic capacitors that are designed for long life and reliability through a variety of demanding environments.

HVR – Booth 2137

These specialists create ceramic composite resistors for high-energy and high-stress applications, including U-series, C-series, RT/RL-series, and wire-wound resistors, along with SiC varistors and custom solutions.

HVR Booth at APEC
APEC Expo Hall

MH&W – Booth 1155

They are showing off innovative thermal interface materials, including the new KERABSORB™ hybrid elastomeric material that combines thermal management with EMI absorption. Additional solutions include gap fillers, thermal grease, and graphite materials.

Proterial America – Booth 1126

Check out their advanced amorphous and nanocrystalline cores for DC conductors and high-frequency transformers, offering excellent efficiency and strong noise suppression performance.

APEC 2026 is shaping up to be quite an engaging convention! Even though Andy will be at four different booths, he will not be too busy to have a chat. Please feel free to reach out before and during the show to ask for a chance to connect! And for more information on APEC 2026, visit their website.

KERABSORB™: The Hybrid Solution for Thermal Management and EMI Suppression

KERABSORB™: The Hybrid Solution for Thermal Management and EMI Suppression

Electronics are becoming more compact, faster, and powerful as they advance, and are bringing new complex challenges surrounding heat dissipation/thermal management and electromagnetic interference (EMI). The latest innovation from Kerafol® is here to help: let us introduce you to KERABSORB™.

KERABSORB™ is a new class of hybrid elastomeric material that combines the functionality of thermal interface materials (TIMs) with high-performance EMI absorbers, creating a single, easy-to-integrate solution.

The Difference

Today’s high-density designs (such as 5G infrastructure, autonomous vehicle radar, and consumer electronics) have increasing data rates while physical spaces between antennas and ICs are shrinking. This can lead to rising component temperatures, increased risk of EMI, and signal degradation and performance losses. KERABSORB™ solves all three of these in one material.

KERABSORB™ Material

All-in-One Advantage

Unlike conventional gap pads or absorbers, KERASORB™ materials can perform multiple roles at once:

  • Efficient thermal conductivity: dissipates heat away from sensitive components
  • Electrical insulation: enables safe operation even in high-voltage environments
  • EMI attenuation up to 77 GHz: provides robust shielding against interference such as signal distortion and cross talk issues, which are increasingly prevalent in high-frequency designs like 5G and radar systems

Thanks to Kerafol’s innovative material formulation, KERASORB™ achieves EMI suppression without sacrificing electrical insulation. This is a significant advantage over many other competing products.

Product Highlights

KERASORB™ also has an EMI performance that remains consistent regardless of material thickness, is made of a soft and elastic material that adapts well to surface irregularities and has a high breakdown voltage that ensures robust electrical isolation. For more information check out this data sheet and view the chart below.

FeatureKERABSORB 2500KERABSORB 1500
ColorMintOrange
Thermal Conductivity (W/mK)2.51.5
Dielectric Breakdown Voltage (kV)5.05.0
EMI Attenuation (dB)>40>40
Hardness (Shore 00)35–5030–45

Choose KERASORB™

KERASORB™ is a next-generation thermal interface management solution which is ideal for engineers and OEMs who need to balance heat, EMI, and space constraints without compromising on reliability or performance. If you’re designing for high-frequency, high-density environments, KERASORB™ is the solution that can simplify your thermal and EMI strategy all in one layer.
