Proposition
Parker Chomerics THERM-A-GAP
™
PAD 60
is a high performance, thermally
conductive gap filler pad with a
thermal conductivity of 6.0 W/m-K. It
provides excellent heat transfer and
low compression forces while still
maintaining conformability between
mating surfaces.
THERM-A-GAP PAD 60 offers the
combination of both excellent thermal
conductivity and conformability, along
with very low outgassing to provide
an effective thermal interface between
heat sinks and electronic devices where
uneven surfaces, air gaps and rough
surface textures may exist.
THERM-A-GAP PAD 60 is manufactured
to size and facilitates easy application
on the desired component.
Product Features
• 6.0 W/m-K thermal conductivity
• Low compression force
• High thermal conductivity
• “A” version offers high strength
acrylic PSA for permanent attach-
ment
• UL recognized V-0 flammability
• RoHS compliant

† Typical properties: these are not to be construed as specifications.
* Thickness tolerance, inches(mm) is ±10% of the nominal part thickness for parts 0.100” (2.5mm) thick or less; those parts greater than 0.100” (2.5mm) thick are held to ±0.010”
(0.25mm).
** The typical deflection range is approximately 5-40%.
