Thermally conductive gel is softer and has better surface affinity compared to thermally conductive gaskets, and can be compressed to a very low thickness, so that the efficiency of heat transfer is significantly improved, and can be compressed to a minimum of 0.1mm, at which time the thermal resistance can be in the range of 0.08 ℃-in2/W - 0.3 ℃-in2/W, which can be reached in part of the performance of silicone grease. In addition, thermally conductive gel has almost no hardness, and will not produce internal stress on the equipment after use.
Thermally conductive gels are easier to work with gels compared to thermally conductive silicone greases. The general use of silicone grease is screen or steel plate printing, or directly brush coating, very unfriendly to the user and the environment, and because it has a certain degree of fluidity, generally can not be used for the thickness of 0.2mm or more occasions.
Thermally conductive clay can be arbitrarily molded into the desired shape, for uneven PCB boards and irregular devices (e.g., batteries, components, corner parts, etc.), are able to ensure good contact.
Thermally conductive gel has a certain degree of adhesion, and there will be no oil and drying problems, in the reliability of a certain advantage.
