SUPERTHERMAL GAP FILLER
HIGH CONDUCTIVITY THERMAL GAP FILLING PADS
Aavid utilizes a proprietary fiber orientation technology to produce highly thermally
conductive materials that are utilized in these unique gap filling pads. Our Aavid
SuperThermal line of TIMs deliver the high conductivity of carbon fiber without
sacrificing the flexibility and adhesion capabilities of a polymer. The SuperThermal pads
and sheets are ideal for cooling high heat sources such as CPUs, GPUs and high density
LEDs. This line includes pads made from specialized organic materials with extremely
high thermal conductivity and low volume resistance.
SIZES
FEATURES:
SuperThermal Interface Pads are available in full sheets that Aavid can cut and shape to
suit your needs. They are also available in easy to use 25.4mm x 25.4mm (1”x 1”) and
76.2mm x 76.2mm (3”x 3”) pads for quick and simple assembly. For full sheet sizes please
