Orion Industries is proud to offer high-quality thermal gap fillers from well-known fabricators such as Henkel, Laird-Dupont, Parker Chomerics and more…Thermal gap fillers are valuable aids as electronic component heat dissipation materials because of their thermal conductivity properties. Engineered for reliability and efficiency, these thermal pads provide an effective solution for managing heat in critical applications.
How Do they Work?
Thermal gap fillers are used in electronic devices to fill small air gaps between hot components and heat sinks or chassis. These gaps act as barriers to heat transfer because air has low thermal conductivity. Gap fillers solve this by providing high thermal conductivity, replacing the air-filled spaces to transfer heat efficiently. This helps protect sensitive components and keeps devices within safe temperature limits.
Material Options for Thermal Gap Fillers:
Henkel Gap-Pad
Soft, conformable pads with excellent thermal conductivity and low thermal resistance. Available in a range of thicknesses and material composition.
Laird T-Flex
High-performance thermal gap fillers that are compressible and highly conductive. Often silicone-based with ultra-soft variants
Chomerics Therm-A-Gap
High-thermal-conductivity materials with minimal outgassing. Focused on reliability in demanding environments.
