Thermal pad Gelid TP-GP05-A 120 x 20 x 0.5 mm for heat transfer between components

Gelid TP-GP05-A thermal pad is a 120 x 20 x 0.5 mm sheet designed as a thermal interface material for heat transfer between electronic components and heatsinks. The thin, conformable pad compensates for minor surface irregularities to improve thermal contact without the mess of liquid thermal pastes. It is suitable for use in compact cooling applications where a precise, low-profile gap filler is required.

Advantages

The thermal pad provides consistent thermal conductivity across the contact area while remaining flexible and easy to cut to size. Its low thickness ensures minimal added gap while maintaining good compliance to uneven surfaces. Installation is cleaner and simpler compared with paste, and the pad does not require curing or mixing. It can be used in tight spaces and is stable under normal operating temperatures encountered in PC components and small electronics.

Suitable for

• CPUs and low-profile CPU coolers where a thin pad is required
• GPU memory modules and VRM components on graphics cards
• SSD modules and M.2 drives with limited clearance
• Small form-factor PCs, embedded systems and other compact electronics

Key specifications

• Dimensions: 120 x 20 x 0.5 mm
• Form: soft, conformable thermal pad sheet
• Application area: gap filling between components and heatsinks
• Compatibility: suitable for CPUs, GPUs, VRMs, SSDs and similar components
• Installation: cut-to-fit and pressure-mounted; no curing required

How to use

Measure the gap between the component and the heatsink and cut the Gelid thermal pad to the required dimensions using clean scissors or a knife. Remove protective liners from both sides if present, position the pad so it fully covers the contact area, and apply even pressure to ensure full contact. Reassemble the cooling assembly and verify that mounting pressure is consistent to maintain good thermal contact. Replace the pad if it becomes compressed or damaged during maintenance.

Usage recommendations

Store the thermal pad in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. For optimal performance, ensure mating surfaces are free of dust, grease and old thermal material before applying the pad. Use the pad where a thin, stable thermal interface is preferred over liquid paste, and verify component clearance to avoid mechanical interference.
