Range/Series Overview
IMPORTANT: This Range/Series overview section describes the range of which this product belongs. Features of different versions might be mentioned and may not apply to the specific product on this page. Please view Specs for specification of product.The ARCTIC TP-3 thermal pad is designed to provide thermal conductivity for various applications. With an operating temperature range from -40°C to 150°C, this thermal pad ensures reliable performance even in extreme conditions. Compliant with UL 94 V-0 standards, it offers safety and efficiency for electronic components, helping to maintain operating temperatures for improved device performance and longevity.
Features Summary
- High performance - very soft
Based on silicone and a special filler, TP-3 outperforms high-performance pads, especially when height differences of closely spaced chips typically occur due to manufacturing tolerances. The TP-3 offers excellent thermal conductivity despite extremely low hardness. - Minimization of thermal resistance
The thinner the pad, the lower the thermal resistance. The TP-3 pad with a thickness of 0.5 mm can easily be compressed to 0.3 mm and thus compensate for height differences between various components of up to 0.2 mm. Please note that due to the extremely low hardness, the installation of the 0.5 mm pad requires extra care. - Versatile applications
Heat-conducting, vibration-damping, moldable, electrically insulating - safe and easy to use. Thanks to its good compression properties, the soft heat conduction pad is particularly gentle on components and at the same time a good heat conductor. In addition to the standard format for M.2, the TP-3 can be easily cut to the desired shape and size. This makes it ideal for RAMs, chipsets, and ICs of all kinds, which are used in PCs, laptops, consoles, graphics cards, and electronic devices in general. - Safe handling
The ARCTIC TP-3 is electrically insulating, non-adhesive, and easy to handle. This means that optimal and safe heat transfer can be ensured in many application areas. - Bridging gaps
The TP-3 is softer than conventional pads and therefore particularly suitable for different chip heights and possible tolerances. Thanks to their good compressibility properties, the thermal pads act as the perfect gap filler and bridge uneven surface and air gaps without stressing sensitive and protruding components.
