Let’s Talk About Thermal Gap Fillers

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.

Which One is Best For You? Consider these Factors…

Thermal Conductivity – All gap fillers provide a range of thermal conductivities to meet different application requirements, ensuring efficient heat transfer for various electronic systems.

Compliance and Conformability – These materials are soft and conformable, accommodating irregular surfaces and ensuring better contact between components.

Customizable Thickness and Size – Gap fillers are available in a variety of thicknesses to accommodate different gap sizes and application needs.
