Elastic Filler Pads Boast Of High Thermal Conductivity

Sept. 1, 2002

These new gap filler pads boast of superior thermal conductivity, as well as excellent consistency and elasticity. The SARCON XR-e and XR-j silicone gel sheets are well-suited for filling air gaps and uneven surfaces in a variety of applications, including computer, consumer, communications, automotive and industrial products. Thermal conductivity of the SARCON XR-e and XR-j thermal gap filler pads is 11W/m-K and 14W/m-K, respectively. The thermal conductivity produces thermal resistance of 0.11" squared/W to 0.14" squared/W for the SARCON XR-e and 0.09" squared/W to 0.12" squared/W for the SARCON XR-j. Both thermal filler pads have flame retardancy to satisfy UL94 V-0 requirements. And the pads are flexible enough to conform to a variety of design considerations, such as tolerance backups and multiple component heights, and are designed to adhere to components in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, including protrusions and recessed areas. Custom die-cut pieces are available, too. Pricing of the filler pads is $0.15/square/square inch. For more information, contact FUGIPOLY AMERICA CORP., Carteret, NJ. (732) 969-0100.
