Sarcon 50G-Hm is a high-performance, low-resistance gap filler pad manufactured with a low-tac top surface. The one-sided treatment is reportedly less sticky than the opposing surface; thermal pad adheres to target electrical component or opposing heat sink. Provides removal without ripping, warping or damaging the interface material. Transfers heat with a thermal conductivity of 6.0 W/m°K and a low thermal resistance of .16°Cin2/W at 72.5 PSI.  This 0.5mm-thick, flame-retardant TIM is available in sheets up to 300mm x 200mm.
