Common Properties Across Thermal Pads
-All have Sil-Pad fiberglass reinforcement, featuring great cut-through resistance.
-Very conformable, that is presented by its low hardness.
-Available with pressure sensitive adhesive on the Sil-Pad side(AC)
-All Gap Pads below have relatively low thermal conductivity, but their thermal performance is exceptional considering this.
-All come with natural tack one side.
-All are flame retardant per UL 94V0 rating.
Gap Pad VO
Gap Pad VO aka GAP PAD TGP 800VO is a cost-effective thermal gap filling pad that still features great thermal performance at an economic scale. It is still pretty soft with a Young’s Modulus of 100 psi. It has a bulk rubber hardness of 40(shore 00)The thermal performance is still great at 2.24 (°C-in2 /W) @ 30% strain. It has a thermal conductivity of 0.8 W/m-K. Thicknesses available are .020’’ to .200’’.
Gap Pad VOS
Gap Pad VOS aka GAP PAD TGP 800VOS has a low modulus. I see Gap Pad VOS as a middle of the road option that is economical, not too soft, but still has incredible thermal performance. It has a bulk rubber hardness of 25(shore 00). It still has great thermal performance at 2.11 (°C-in2 /W) @ 30% strain. It has a pink color from the Sil-Pad. Its Young’s Modulus is 40 psi, still very soft, but not the softest Gap Pad available. Lastly, it has a thermal conductivity of 0.8 W/m-K. Thicknesses available are .020’’ to .200’’
Gap Pad VOUS
Gap Pad VOUS aka GAP PAD TGP 1000VOUS has a gel-like modulus, and features the highest level of softness out of the 3 thermal pads. It has a bulk rubber hardness of 5(shore 00). It also has the lowest thermal impedance out of the bunch of 1.68 (°C-in2 /W) @ 30% strain. It has a pink color from the Sil-Pad. Its Young’s Modulus is 8 psi, among some of the softest gap filling pads you will ever see. Lastly, it has a thermal conductivity of 1 W/m-K. Thicknesses available are .020’’ to .250’’.
