Arctic TP-2 High Performance Thermal Pad – 145 × 145 × 1.5 mm

The Arctic TP‑2 thermal pad is engineered for optimal heat transfer in electronic assemblies where space constraints and precise thermal management are critical. Its compact square geometry (145 mm × 145 mm) combined with a thin profile of 1.5 mm makes it an ideal solution for filling gaps between components, ensuring reliable conduction without excessive bulk.

Key Material Characteristics

The pad is fabricated from high‑purity silicone, chosen for its excellent thermal conductivity and mechanical resilience. The silicone matrix incorporates a proprietary blend that delivers a thermal conductivity of approximately 6.0 W/m·K, placing it among the top performers in its class.

• Thermal Conductivity: ~6.0 W/m·K – ensures rapid heat dissipation from high‑power devices.
• Hardness: Low (≈3.2 g/cm³) – provides gentle compression, preventing damage to delicate components while maintaining contact integrity.
• Thickness: 1.5 mm – balances flexibility with sufficient fill volume for most PCB gaps.

Dimensional Precision and Packaging

The pad measures precisely 145 mm × 145 mm × 1.5 mm, a size that aligns with standard board footprints while offering ample surface area for heat spread. The product is supplied in a compact package measuring 210 mm in height, 195 mm in width, and 113 g in weight, facilitating easy storage and handling during assembly.

Installation Simplicity

One of the standout features of the Arctic TP‑2 is its ease of installation. The silicone composition allows the pad to conform smoothly to irregular surfaces without requiring additional adhesives or mechanical fasteners. Users can simply place the pad onto the target area, press lightly to ensure full contact, and secure it with standard mounting techniques.

Ideal Gap Filler for High‑Density Boards

In densely populated printed circuit boards (PCBs), maintaining thermal pathways between components is essential. The TP‑2’s low hardness and flexible nature make it a perfect gap filler, bridging small voids without compromising component integrity or airflow.

Safety and Handling

The silicone base of the Arctic TP‑2 ensures that the pad remains chemically inert, non-flammable, and free from hazardous substances. This makes it suitable for use in environments where safety standards are stringent, such as medical devices or aerospace applications.

Compatibility Across Platforms

While the product is often referenced alongside Windows-compatible hardware, its design is universally applicable to any electronic system requiring reliable thermal management—whether in consumer electronics, industrial control units, or high‑performance computing rigs.

Performance Summary

• High Thermal Conductivity: 6.0 W/m·K – superior heat transfer.
• Low Hardness: 3.2 g/cm³ – gentle yet effective contact.
• Thin Profile: 1.5 mm – minimal space consumption.
• Easy Installation: No adhesives needed.
• Safe Silicone Material: Non‑toxic, non‑flammable.

The Arctic TP‑2 High Performance Thermal Pad represents a blend of engineering precision, material excellence, and user-friendly design. Its specifications make it an indispensable component for anyone seeking reliable thermal management in compact, high‑density electronic assemblies.
