Thermal pad ARCTIC TP-2 (APT2560) Performance 120x20 mm 1 mm

The ARCTIC TP-2 (APT2560) Performance Thermal Pad measures 120x20 mm with a thickness of 1 mm, designed to serve as a reliable thermal interface between electronic components and heat sinks. It effectively bridges air gaps, rough surfaces, and uneven topography to ensure optimal heat dissipation. Utilizing a silicone-based material, this blue thermal pad offers high flexibility and adaptability, allowing it to perform efficiently even under low mounting pressure. It is a practical solution for improving thermal management in various computing and electronic systems.

Advantages

This high-performance thermal pad significantly outperforms generic alternatives by offering superior thermal conductivity for efficient heat transfer. Its flexible and adaptable composition ensures seamless contact with components of varying surface textures without requiring excessive pressure. The user-friendly dimensions allow for easy cutting and placement, making the installation process straightforward for both professional technicians and hardware enthusiasts.

Suitable for

• Improving heat transfer on CPUs and GPUs
• Cooling various electronic devices and chipsets
• Filling gaps between heat sinks and heat-generating components
• Upgrading thermal management in desktop computers and hardware setups

When it may not be suitable

This product may not be suitable for applications requiring a liquid thermal interface or where the gap between the component and the heat sink is significantly greater or smaller than 1 mm. It is also not intended to be used as a structural adhesive or for mounting heavy heat sinks without additional mechanical fasteners.

Key specifications

• Dimensions: 120x20 mm
• Thickness: 1 mm
• Material: Silicone-based thermal pad
• Color: Blue
• Quantity per pack: 1 piece

How to use

Before application, ensure that the surfaces of both the electronic component and the heat sink are thoroughly clean and free from dust, oil, or old thermal interface material residue. Measure the required dimensions and cut the thermal pad to size if necessary. Carefully peel off the protective film from both sides of the pad and place it precisely on the target component. Press gently to ensure proper contact, then mount the heat sink securely over the pad.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 1 mm thickness matches the required gap distance between your component and the heat sink
• Check the dimensions of 120x20 mm to ensure the pad is large enough for your specific application
• Confirm that the mounting area is clean and compatible with silicone-based thermal pads

Usage recommendations: Store the thermal pad in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight before use. Handle the material by the edges to prevent contamination of the contact surfaces and ensure maximum thermal transfer efficiency.
