Thermal pad ARCTIC TP-2 APT2560 290x290 mm 0.5 mm

The ARCTIC TP-2 (APT2560) Performance Thermal Pad is a silicon-based interface material sized 290 x 290 mm with a thickness of 0.5 mm and a blue colour. It is designed to improve heat transfer between heatsinks and electronic components, compensating for uneven surfaces, air gaps and rough textures to ensure consistent thermal contact.

Advantages

The silicon composition delivers higher thermal performance than generic pads while remaining flexible and conformable. Its adaptability at low mounting pressure allows reliable contact on irregular or textured surfaces, and the large sheet format (290 x 290 mm) provides coverage for multiple components or larger cooling assemblies.

Suitable for

• Thermal interface between heatsinks and PCBs or power components
• Filling air gaps and uneven contact surfaces in cooling assemblies
• Large-area coverage for custom cooling solutions and multiple components

How to use

Cut the TP-2 pad to the required shape and size for the component or heatsink. Clean mating surfaces to remove dust, grease or old thermal material. Place the pad so it fully covers the contact area and apply the heatsink or component with uniform mounting pressure. Verify there is consistent contact across the interface; the pad’s flexibility allows it to fill minor gaps and surface irregularities.

Usage recommendations

Store the thermal pad flat in a clean, dry environment and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. For best results, use with properly aligned mounting hardware and moderate pressure; do not over-compress beyond the pad’s rated thickness. Replace the pad if it becomes contaminated or damaged.
