Executive Summary
THERM-A-GAP™ PAD 60 is a soft, highly reliable, high-performance 6.0 W/m-K thermally
conductive pad.
This document outlines the examination of the thermal reliability of this silicone-based gap filler
pad after being subjected to long-term environmental aging.
The thermal performance of THERM-A-GAP™ PAD 60 was examined after being subjected to
multiple environmental stress tests. The thermal impedance of the aged samples did not
experience a significant increase after any of the treatments studied.
Samples were subjected to 1000-hour dwell at 125°C, 1000-hour dwell at 85°C/85% relative
humidity, and a combined stress of thermal shock at -40°C to 80°C, thermal cycling at -40°C to
80°C, and random vibration frequencies equivalent to 2.0 GRMS. In all cases, there was no
statistically significant increase in impedance according to one-way ANOVA with the Tukey
method for multiple comparisons.
Based on these results, THERM-A-GAP™ PAD 60 demonstrates the ability to withstand long-
term aging without a reduction in thermal performance.
