APPLICATONS

Used for Electronic Equipment Industry

In the field of electronic equipment, silicone thermal pads play a vital role. For the CPU and GPU in high-performance computers and game consoles, these pads are precisely placed between the processor and the heat sink to fill the tiny gap and ensure that heat can be efficiently transferred, thereby reducing thermal resistance, improving heat dissipation efficiency, ensuring stable operation of the CPU/GPU, and preventing performance degradation or damage caused by overheating. Similarly, in the power module, the silicone thermal pad connects the power module with the heat sink or the housing, quickly conducts away the heat generated when converting electrical energy, maintains the module within a safe temperature range, and effectively improves its conversion efficiency and service life. For LED lamps, these silicone thermal pads connect the LED chip with the heat sink, effectively manage the heat generated during the light-emitting process, keep the chip running at a low temperature, and significantly improve the light-emitting efficiency, stability and overall life of the LED lamp. Through these applications, silicone thermal pads have become an indispensable key component for thermal management of electronic equipment.

How to choose the thermal pad?

When choosing a silicone thermal pad, the following factors need to be considered to ensure the best heat dissipation effect and long-term stability

Thermal conductivity

For electronic devices with higher power density, such as server CPUs, high-end graphics cards, etc., it is recommended to choose silicone thermal pads with a thermal conductivity greater than 5W/(m·K). Such silicone thermal pads can quickly conduct heat, effectively reduce the hot spot temperature, and ensure stable operation of the device. For devices with lower power density, such as smart home controllers, LED lighting, etc., you can choose a pad with a suitable thermal conductivity according to the actual heating situation.

Hardness

For devices with uneven surfaces or tiny protrusions, such as some power modules or radiators, it is recommended to choose thermal conductive silicone pads with lower hardness. This type of thermal pad has good compressibility and fit, can fit the surface tightly, reduce air gaps, and improve heat dissipation efficiency.
Volson can customize thermal conductive silicone pads of different hardness according to the specific structure and heat dissipation requirements of the equipment to meet the needs of special application scenarios.

Thickness

Choose a thermally conductive silicone pad of appropriate thickness to ensure that it can completely fill the gap between the device and the heat sink after compression, and avoid the thermal pad being too thick to increase thermal resistance and affect the heat dissipation effect. For example, in the automotive electronics industry, due to large vibrations and large temperature changes, it is recommended to choose a silicone thermal pad of a certain thickness to adapt to the gap changes and ensure long-term reliability.

Environmental factors of use

In harsh environments such as high temperature, oil pollution or vibration, such as automobile engine compartments, industrial inverters, etc., it is necessary to choose special process silicone thermal conductive pads that are resistant to high temperature, oil pollution or vibration. Such thermal pads can work stably for a long time and are not affected by environmental factors.
