The T-Pad 3000 offers a highly durable solution for thermally connecting hot electronic devices to cold surfaces or nearby metalwork, while also ensuring electrical insulation. Its cold flow action and soft double-sided surfaces facilitate excellent thermal wet-out between mating surfaces, effectively eliminating micro air voids.
This process reduces thermal resistance and enhances overall thermal performance. T-Pad 3000 can be supplied in die-cut shapes, making it suitable for a wide range of electronic applications.
Benefits
- Ensures complete electrical separation
- Eliminates microscopic air gaps at the interface between the device and its mating metal, leading to improved thermal conductivity
- Provides consistent thermal regulation across a broad temperature range
Features
- Possesses electrical insulation and average thermal behavior
- Thermal conductivity = 3.0 W/mK
- Needs mounting pressure from a spring, metal clip, or clamp
Recommended Uses
- Any heat-generating surface to metal that necessitates good thermal performance and electrical insulation
- Cooling power components attached to a heatsink or chassis within PSUs
- Thermally connecting TO220 and TO247 devices to heatsinks
