Measurement of thermal conductivity of thermal pads
Are you measuring the correct thermal conductivity of the thermal pad?
A thermal pad is a type of thermal interface material used for heat dissipation in CPUs and power devices. Due to its flexibility and relatively high thermal conductivity, it effectively reduces contact thermal resistance by filling the gaps between the heat sink and the device. Do you accurately understand the thermal conductivity of thermal pads? Thermal pads have elasticity, so their contact state changes with pressure. In other words, the effective thermal conductivity varies with pressure. Additionally, many materials exhibit temperature dependence in thermal conductivity, meaning that as the temperature increases, the thermal conductivity decreases. In this instance, we measured a commercially available thermal pad with a specification of 1.5W/mK. This is a soft type referred to as a soft thermal pad. The measurement device used is our steady-state thermal conductivity measurement device, the SS-H40.
