Gap Pad
®
1450 is a highly compliant
Gap Pad material that is ideal for fragile
component leads. The material includes a
permanent liner, which facilitates rework and
improves puncture resistance and handling
characteristics. The un-lined side of
Gap Pad
®
1450 maintains a conformable, yet
elastic nature that provides excellent interfacing
and wet-out characteristics, even to surfaces
with high roughness or uneven topography.
Gap Pad
®
1450 has inherent tack on one side
of the material, eliminating the need for
thermally impeding adhesive layers.
It is highly recommended that the permanent
liner be left intact. Gap Pad
®
1450 permanent
clear liner can also be removed if needed for
thicknesses above 60 mil. Removing the clear
permanent liner will not have significant impact
on thermal performance.
