Thermal pad Alphacool Apex Light grey 150°C 100x100x1mm

The Alphacool Apex thermal pad is a silicone-based, ultra-soft heat transfer pad designed for reliable cooling of electronic components. It measures 100 x 100 x 1 mm, has a maximum operating temperature of 150°C, and comes in light grey. The pad’s low hardness and natural tack allow it to conform to uneven surfaces and improve thermal contact between components.

Advantages

Apex offers high thermal performance and excellent compressibility, ensuring consistent contact and efficient heat dissipation. Its material composition reduces the risk of silicone bleeding, which extends service life compared with many conventional thermal pads. The pad is electrically insulating, making it safe for use near live components.

Suitable for

• Cooling of power components on motherboards and graphics cards
• Thermal management in servers and power supplies
• Heat transfer in notebooks, LCD TVs and set-top devices
• Cooling components in telecommunications equipment and access points
• Thermal interface for EV electronics, autopilot systems and mobile devices
• Cooling of memory modules and other PCB components

How to use

Clean and dry the surfaces to be joined, removing dust, grease and old thermal materials. Cut the thermal pad to the required shape if necessary. Place the pad between the heat-generating component and the heatsink or chassis, ensuring full coverage of the contact area. Apply gentle pressure to achieve compression and proper contact; the pad’s low hardness will conform to surface irregularities. Reassemble the device according to manufacturer instructions.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid excessive shear when installing and store unused material flat in a dry environment. Replace the pad if it shows signs of mechanical damage or contamination. Observe maximum operating temperature (150°C) and follow device-specific safety guidelines when working near live circuits.
