Thermal interface pads are thicker than
double-sided tapes, but can be provided
without adhesive if removal of the pad may
be necessary. Pads can also be either
electrically conductive or isolating.
Performance of the interface pad is
dependent on maintenance of correct,
constant mounting pressure.
In-Sil-8
Standard Pads
When you need thermal conductance and
electrical isolation in one package, In-Sil-8
Pads offer you the best of both. These
silicone-based insulators come with
thermally conductive fillers to isolate up to
6000 volts AC. In-Sil-8 pads withstand the
rigors of assembly, harsh environments,
and aging under continuous use. You'll save
time with these cost-effective pads too:
installation is 4 times faster than mica and
grease, and they won't contaminate solder
baths. Order In-Sil-8 Pads with or without
pressure-sensitive adhesive, and in
standard or custom shapes.
Ordering Information
In-Sil-8 pads have 12 digit ordering numbers. The 1st - 4th digits are
listed in this chart, the 5th & 6th digits indicate standard configurations,
and the last 6 digits are F00000. The 5th and 6th digit ordering codes
along with the part dimensions are listed in the code column on the
standard pads page.

TM
500 is the recommended replacement for A-Dux
T-gard
TM
500 is a medium thermal
performance insulator pad consisting of a
ceramic filled high temperature silicone
rubber coated on electrical grade fiberglass.
T-gard
TM
500 is designed for applications
that require additional thickness to prevent
electrical shorts from stamped aluminum
heatsinks used in switching mode power
supplies (SMPS) and debris from aluminum
castings used in automotive motor controls.
T-gard
TM
500 is used in applications that
require interface of 2.5ºC/watt or higher on
a TO-220 mounted @ 50 psi pressure.
