The TP-3 pad with a thickness of 0.5 mm can easily be compressed to 0.3 mm and thus compensate for height differences between various components of up to 0.2 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease note that due to the extremely low hardness, the installation of the 0.5 mm pad requires extra care. Please refer to the user manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeat-conducting, vibration-damping, mouldable, electrically insulating — safe and easy to use. Thanks to its good compression properties, the soft heat conduction pad is particularly gentle on components and at the same time a good heat conductor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the standard format for M.2, the TP-3 is available in various sizes and thicknesses, which can be easily cut to the desired shape and size. This makes it ideal for RAMs, chipsets, and ICs of all kinds, which are used in PCs, laptops, consoles, graphics cards, and electronic devices in general.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ARCTIC TP-3 is electrically insulating, non-adhesive, and easy to handle. This means that optimal and safe heat transfer can be ensured in many application areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe TP-3 is softer than conventional pads and therefore particularly suitable for different chip heights and possible tolerances. Thanks to their good compressibility properties, the thermal pads act as the perfect gap filler and bridge uneven surface and air gaps without stressing sensitive and protruding components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur thermal pads are available in a choice of 0.5 mm, 1.0 mm, and 1.5 mm. The 0.5 mm variant is ideally suited as an alternative to heat-conducting foil. The pads are available in different dimensions, depending on their thickness. If required, the pads can also be independently cut to any size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ARCTIC TP-3 thermal pads can be stacked particularly well due to their softness and low Interfacial Contact Resistance. This allows for flexible adaptation to various application requirements and the bridging of different thicknesses without compromising the efficiency of heat transfer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePad specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;margin-bottom:10px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eARCTIC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eSilicone with special thermal filler\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eHardness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e55 Shore OO\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eRelative density\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e3.4 g\/cm³\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerformance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;margin-bottom:10px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eThermal conductivity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e6 W\/(m·K)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eCompression capability\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e0.5 mm compresses to 0.3 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eGap compensation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eUp to 0.2 mm height difference\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnvironment \u0026amp; safety\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;margin-bottom:10px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eOperating temperature range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e−40°C to 150°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eFlammability rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eUL 94 V-0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eElectrical property\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eElectrically insulating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;margin-bottom:10px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eSuitable for\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eCPU, GPU, VRAM, SSD, chipset, laptop, console\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eCuttable to size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eStackable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"ARCTIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55689804513656,"sku":"ARC-3483","price":14.73,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9119\/7218\/files\/TP-3_120x20mm_0.5mm_g01_Pack_of_4_f010b98f-98b1-4ec4-b4a9-d235212a8138.png?v=1791240394","url":"https:\/\/tech-syndicate.co.uk\/products\/arctic-tp-3-thermal-pad-120x20mm-4-pack-6-w-mk-2","provider":"Tech Syndicate","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
