Thermal pad Alphacool 12197 3 W/m·K Grey 30x30x2 mm

Alphacool thermal pad with a thermal conductivity of 3 W/m·K, sized 30 x 30 x 2 mm and supplied in grey. The pad is soft and highly conformable, allowing it to fill small gaps, surface irregularities and micro-grooves between heat-generating components and cooling solutions to improve thermal contact. Each pack contains two pads. The protective film on the pad surface must be removed before installation. Pads can be trimmed to size with scissors or a sharp knife.

Advantages

The pad’s low hardness and strong elasticity ensure good surface conformity and stable thermal transfer across uneven contact surfaces. A thermal conductivity of 3 W/m·K provides effective heat conduction for a range of electronic cooling tasks. The thin 2 mm thickness is suitable for close-tolerance assemblies and the soft material simplifies cutting and fitting to custom shapes.

Suitable for

• Filling gaps between chips, MOSFETs, and heatsinks
• Improving contact between power components and cooling plates
• Thermal bridging in compact electronic and computing assemblies

Key specifications

• Thermal conductivity: 3 W/m·K
• Dimensions: 30 x 30 x 2 mm
• Color: grey
• Material property: soft, highly conformable thermal pad
• Pack contents: 2 pads per pack

How to use

Remove the protective film from the pad surface before applying. Position the pad on the colder component or heatsink, then assemble the two surfaces to ensure even compression and contact. If necessary, cut the pad to the required shape or size with scissors or a sharp knife, taking care to produce straight edges for optimal contact.

Usage recommendations

Use the pad on clean, dry surfaces and avoid excessive mechanical stress. For best results, ensure even mounting pressure and verify clearance and compression to maintain thermal performance.
