RS PRO Thermal Interface Pad, 0.127mm Thick, 2.5W/m·K, 14.3 x 21mm

RS PRO phase change materials are ideal for thermal management applications. Available in this range are phase change interface materials in sheets, resistor pads and as a dispensable paste.

Phase change materials work because they change their state with changes in temperature between the heat source and the heatsink. During this process, the material stores thermal energy which is then released as the material cools. This means that the material can absorb thermal energy as the heat is generated which helps to keep the desired component cool. This improves contact between the surfaces, completely fillling air gaps and increasing heat transfer.

FAQs

How do thermal pads work?
By keeping the internal components of electronic products from wear and tear resulting from high circuit board temperatures, thermal pads help to provide extended longevity. They’re also important in providing safety by eliminating the possibility of electrical fires. Thermal pads are soft and comfortable, which helps to provide vibration and shock damping to minimise potential damage to components. They’re manufactured in a variety of standard thicknesses and dimensions but can also be custom fabricated to fit various applications.
