The true workhorse of the Sil-Pad product
family, Sil-Pad 900S thermally conductive
insulation material, is designed for a wide
variety of applications requiring high thermal
performance and electrical isolation.These
applications also typically have low mounting
pressures for component clamping.
Sil-Pad 900S material combines a smooth
and highly compliant surface characteristic
with high thermal conductivity.These features
optimize the thermal resistance properties at
low pressures.
Applications requiring low component clamp-
ing forces include discrete semiconductors
(TO-220,TO-247 and TO-218) mounted with
spring clips. Spring clips assist with quick
assembly and apply a limited amount of force
to the semiconductor.The smooth surface
texture of Sil-Pad 900S minimizes interfacial
thermal resistance and maximizes thermal
performance.
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
• Automotive electronics
• Motor controls
• Power semiconductors
Configurations Available:
• Sheet form, die-cut parts and roll form
• With or without pressure sensitive adhesive
