Thermal pad ARCTIC TP-2 APT2560 Performance 120x20 mm 0.5 mm

The ARCTIC TP-2 (APT2560) Performance Thermal Pad is a silicone-based thermal interface material measuring 120 x 20 mm with a thickness of 0.5 mm. Supplied as two blue pads per pack, it fills uneven surfaces, air gaps and rough textures between heat sinks and electronic components to improve heat transfer and support stable device performance.

Advantages

The silicone composition provides better conformity and thermal contact than generic pads, remaining flexible and adaptive even at low mounting pressure. Its dimensions (120 x 20 mm, 0.5 mm thickness) and blue colour make it easy to position and identify during installation. Supplied as a pair, the pack offers convenience for multiple components or spare use.

Suitable for

• Thermal bridging between heat sinks and PC components (VRM, memory, chipset)
• Filling gaps on power electronics and LED modules
• Use in compact assemblies where low mounting pressure is applied

How to use

Clean mating surfaces to remove dust, grease and old thermal material. Cut the pad to the required size if necessary, peel off the protective film and place the pad between the heat sink and the component, ensuring full contact across the intended area. Reassemble the device and apply the normal mounting pressure to achieve good mechanical contact and thermal conduction.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use where surface irregularities or gaps are present and avoid using the pad in applications requiring electrical insulation verification beyond standard silicone properties. Store unused pads in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
