Gap Pad A3000 is a thermally conductive filled polymer laminate, supplied on a reinforcing mesh for easy material handling and enhanced puncture, shear, and tear resistance. Gap Pad A3000 has a reinforcement layer on the dark gold side of the material that assists in burn-in and rework processes while the light gold and soft side of the material allows for added compliance.
The resultant thickness of the Gap Pad will determine the thermal resistance. Subtracting the initial gap pad thickness by the deflection value, obtained above, will give the resultant thickness. Refer to the graph below to obtain the thermal resistance of the material.
