In the world of electronics, thermal management is a critical factor for ensuring performance and longevity. As devices get smaller and more powerful, the challenge of dissipating heat becomes even greater. This is where thermal gap filler pads come in—they are essential components that bridge the air gaps between heat-generating components and a heat sink, ensuring efficient heat transfer.

At NEDC, we offer a wide range of thermal pads to meet diverse application needs. Referencing our recent articles can help you find the best solution for your specific project.
