Thermal pads

Thermal pads

— thermal pads are elastic soft sheets of silicone (or other similar material) impregnated with heat-conducting particles - aluminium oxide, boron nitride, etc. They are designed to ensure proper heat transfer between components on the computer motherboard that may not be pressed tightly together. Thermal pads compensate for gaps and unevenness in large areas and in complex structures. They differ from each other in thickness, filling, number of layers and adhesive surfaces.
