Thermal gap pads provide a thermal interface between heatsinks (devices or substances for absorbing unwanted or excess heat) and electronic devices. They’re particularly useful where air gaps, rough surface textures or uneven surface topography prevent the use of traditional grease or paste.
Thermal gap pads are solid at room temperature, but as heat rises, they grow softer and can fill gaps. Often, devices are not entirely flush with the heatsink, and when the pad grows soft, it can spread and fill that gap.
RS PRO have a great range of products for the heating or cooling of electronic devices, components or enclosures to help devices maintain the right temperature to work effectively.

Ultra-soft
High compressibility
Good thermal conductivity
Compliancy, high compressibility

Electrical insulation

Electronic devices need to maintain the right temperature to work effectively. If the conditions become too hot or too cold, this can cause the components to malfunction. In order to keep electronics components functioning at the right temperature, the devices use a variety of different elements such as thermal pads that will keep the temperatures in the right parameters for quality performance. Thermal pads are used in various applications which include:
Displays, lighting protection
PDP TV, LCD CCFL and LCD LED display backlight, LED signage, projectors and new display technology.

Consumer and industrial electronics
Mobile telephones, communication base stations, laptops, notebooks, computer servers, hand held gaming devices, memory modules, CPU modules, amplifiers, batteries and DC to DC converter power supplies.

Automotive electronics
Engine management, electronic suspension, braking systems, communication and multimedia systems, comfort convenience features, vehicle lighting, vehicle controls, hybrid vehicle battery thermal management, electric vehicle thermal management.

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.
