Electronics-grade manufacturing · Thermal and insulating pads
Thermal and insulating pads.
Silicone is a good electrical insulator and, in filled grades, a useful thermal conductor. Pads, sleeves and washers made from it solve small problems in electronics assemblies.
The detail
Choosing the pad
An insulating pad keeps parts electrically isolated. A thermal pad moves heat from a component to a heatsink. Some pads do both. The grade decides which, and filled thermal grades behave differently in moulding from standard silicone.
We supply pads moulded or cut from sheet, depending on shape and volume, and record the grade and batch against each order.

Questions
What people usually ask.
Do you make thermal pads in-house?
We mould and cut many pad types. Some highly filled thermal materials are sourced as sheet and cut here.
Can pads be adhesive-backed?
Yes, with an adhesive chosen for the operating temperature.
