04 Thermally Conductive Gap Fillers, Pads, Spacers, Soft-, Ultrasoft-Gel

Electrically insulating soft and ultra-soft silicone-based, highly heat-conductive Gapfillers

Thermally Conductive Gap Fillers, Pads, Spacers, Soft-, Ultrasoft-Gel

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Highly thermally conductive, soft and ultrasoft, electrically insulating, silicone-based Gap Filler Pads (TC Soft Silicone Gel Pads) are suitable for applications which, aside from thermal conductivity, require the compensation of large gaps and tolerances – especially in the case of non-planar builds without pressure – as well as good electric insulation.

The high elasticity of these products additionally contributes to mechanical dampening within the application. Owing to their thermal properties, these elastomeric films – especially putty materials with low to no
spring-back – are the ideal T.I.M. solution for application with electronic components on SMD circuit boards.

We are able to provide a broad range of excellent and innovative, highly thermoconductive soft elastomers with thermal conductivities ranging from 1.0 to 13 W/mK.

Some variants are equipped with carrier materials such as fibreglass reinforcement, polymer mesh, or surface lamination for added mechanical stability, and/or with one-sided adhesive that affords easy automated montage.
