THERM-A-GAP GEL
Thermal Interface Material
Designed for ease of application with no curing requirements, our single component dispensable thermal gap filler gels can be integrated with robotic or automated dispensing equipment for high volume applications. This versatile product often eliminates the need for multiple gap pads on a device with a uniform height heat sink and various components that require cooling.
Thermal gap filler gels range in thermal conductivity and can provide secondary benefits such as stability in vertical or vibration applications or heat transfer at very thin bond lines. Their cross-linked gel structure provides superior long-term stability and performance.
THERM-A-GAP PAD
Thermal Interface Material
THERM-A-GAP gap filler pads are a family of compressible, thermally conductive elastomers designed for applications where heat must be conducted between a semiconductor or battery and a heat-dissipating surface.
Gap filler pads come in a range of thicknesses and can typically be provided on various carrier substrates such as aluminum foil with a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA), a woven fiberglass sheet, a PEN film, or a Kapton liner. They are available as full sheets or can be cut to specific sizes and shapes to meet application-specific needs.

It is perfectly suited for applications where high temperatures are likely and performance can’t be scarified.
Thermal Interface Materials: Choosing Between Gels and Gap Filler Pads
Two general types of thermal interface materials – gels (or dispensable gap fillers) and gap filler pads – are used by design engineers for displacing air voids and ensuring proper heat transfer. This white paper analyzes and draws conclusions about key performance and manufacturability characteristics in both gap pads and new advances in gels.
