Thermally conductive material is a material specially used to assist heat dissipation. It is mainly used between the heat source and the radiator to improve thermal conductivity. The appearance of thermally conductive material is because the equipment will generate heat when it is running, so why does the machine equipment generate heat when it is running? Woolen cloth?

Machinery and equipment are often encountered in people's life and work, and most of the machinery and equipment on the market are driven by electricity, and when the electrical energy is converted into target energy, there will be losses, and this part of the lost energy will be released in the form of heat Dissipate, but the internal space of the equipment is narrow, it is not easy to circulate heat, and it is easy to cause local high temperature.

Excessive temperature will cause temperature-sensitive semiconductors, electrolytic capacitors, processors and other electronic components to fail, accelerate the aging of equipment materials, increase the mechanical stress of materials, etc., which will damage the performance and service life of the equipment. The equipment catches fire, so it needs to be dissipated in time.

People usually install the heat sink on the heat source to guide the heat from the heat source to the heat sink, thereby reducing the temperature of the heat source, but there is a gap between the heat sink and the heat source, even if it is two polished planes, it cannot To achieve a complete physical fit, so the air in the gap will hinder the heat flow, thereby reducing the heat dissipation effect.

In order to effectively improve the thermal conductivity, people will fill the gap between the two with thermal conductive materials, so as to eliminate the air between the interfaces, reduce the contact thermal resistance, and improve the thermal conductivity. Silicone thermal pads are currently the most widely used thermally conductive insulating materials on the market. One, what kind of thermal conductive material is the silicone thermal pad?

Silicone thermal pad is a gap-filling thermal pad made of silicone resin as the base material and added with heat-resistant and thermally conductive materials. It has the characteristics of high thermal conductivity, low interface thermal resistance, insulation, compressibility, etc. Because of its relatively soft hardness, it can show a small thermal resistance under low pressure conditions, and at the same time remove the air between the contact surfaces and fully fill the rough surfaces between the contact surfaces to improve the heat conduction effect of the contact surfaces. Because of the good filling effect of the silicone thermal pad, it can effectively conduct the heat from the heat source to the shell, and the silicone thermal pad has good compressibility and elasticity, and can act as a shock absorber well.
