Aavid Thermalloy Gap Fillers ideal for cooling CPUs, GPUs and high density LEDS

Gap Fillers are thermally conductive materials designed specifically to manage varying or uneven surfaces. Aavid offers a wide variety in conductivity, flexibility and adhesion options available in standard pad sizes, full sheet sizes and custom cut shapes and sizes.

The SoftFlex series is our most flexible and diverse line of thermal conductive pads. The compressibility and adhesion features enable a dramatic reduction in thermal resistance when mounting. The unique flexibility of the SoftFlex base material provides exceptional contouring and excellent cushioning performance. These defining features ensure that SoftFlex Gap Fillers are ideal for dealing with uneven surfaces, parts with varying heights and devices that require greater flexibility in design, all the while reducing overall stress to the PCB and eliminating tolerances.

Aavid’s WaveBlocker series has a high electromagnetic wave permeability allowing it to absorb EM wave interference. It’s EM absorbing capacity ranges from 10MHz to several GHz. Due to this unique feature, the WaveBlocker pads are ideal for negating problems associated with the noise of EM waves and heat radiation. These pads and sheets are RoHS and REACH compliant, halogen free and free from environmentally hazardous substances.

SuperThermal gap filling pads utilize a proprietary fiber orientation technology that produces highly thermally conductive materials. This line of interface materials delivers the high conductivity of carbon fiber without sacrificing the flexibility and adhesion capabilities of a polymer. These compliant, easy to work with sheets offer between 2 and 10 times the thermal conductivity of competing gap pads and are ideal for high heat density applications.
