Sil-Pad 2000 is a high performance, thermally
conductive insulator designed for demanding
aerospace and commercial applications.
Sil-Pad 2000 is a silicone elastomer formulated
to maximize the thermal and dielectric
performance of the filler/binder matrix.The
result is a grease-free, conformable material
capable of meeting or exceeding the thermal
and electrical requirements of high-reliability
electronic packaging applications.

/W) (1)
1) The ASTM D5470 test fixture was used.The recorded value includes interfacial thermal resistance.These
values are provided for reference only. Actual application performance is directly related to the surface roughness, flatness and
pressure applied.
Typical Applications Include:
• Power supplies
• Power semiconductors
• Avionics
• Motor controls
• U.L. File Number E59150
• Aerospace
Configurations Available:
• Sheet form, die-cut parts
• With or without pressure sensitive adhesive
