What is an Electrically Conductive Thermal Pad
An electrically conductive thermal pad is a conformable gap filler that provides both good thermal performance and electrical isolation. These materials work under the high-performance series, like GTP060 REV01 or GTP130 REV01 of GALLOP INNOTEK. They not only conduct heat but also possess superior electrical properties, making them suitable for the most demanding applications where heat dissipation and electromagnetic shielding are necessary.
Key Performance Benefits of Electrically Conductive Thermal Pads
Excellent Thermal Conductivity
The thermal conductivity ranges from 6.0 to 13.0 W/m·K (depending on the model), significantly surpassing traditional thermal silicone greases and thermal pads, offering an exceptional value for enthusiasts and entry-level gamers. If the device is in a low-voltage operating environment for a long time, the GALLOP INNOTEK Electrically Conductive Thermal Pad can have a very low thermal resistance, effectively reducing the device surface temperature.
Excellent Electrical Performance
Unlike conventional thermal pads, some GALLOP INNOTEK Electrically Conductive Thermal Pad series products have electrical conductivity greater than 20,000 S/cm or a volume resistivity of ≤10⁵ Ω·cm. This makes them good candidates for applications involving electromagnetic interference (EMI) or electrostatic discharge (ESD) suppression, such as touch screens, navigation systems, power modules, automotive electronics, and many others. The special electrical conductivity of the cages provides EMI protection and ground dissipation, thereby reducing EMI.
Mechanical and Assembly Characteristics
GALLOP INNOTEK Electrically Conductive Thermal Pads, soft and compressible, suitable for uneven surfaces with low pressure. Like soft thermal pads, they also exhibit a degree of self-adhesion, making implementation easier, do not require an additional adhesive layer, and can be simply pasted on without requiring much effort.
Long-Term Stability and Reliability
GALLOP INNOTEK Electrically Conductive Thermal Pads are rated for an operating temperature from -40 to 200°C, and are also available to work up to 400°C. GALLOP INNOTEK Electrically Translucent Thermal Pads are UL94 V0 certified, flame-retardant, and RoHS/REACH compliant.
