Maxtor AP-12 High-Performance Silicone Thermal Pad, 14.8W/m·K Thermal Conductivity, 120 × 20 × 0.5mm, Electrically Insulating, Cut-to-Fit for GPU VRAM, VRM, SSD & Laptop Cooling | Grey

Expert Features

  • 14.8 W/m·K Thermal Conductivity: High-performance silicone thermal interface designed to transfer heat from electronic components into compatible cooling surfaces.
  • 0.5 mm Precision Thickness: Ultra-thin, pre-formed pad for assemblies specifically requiring a 0.5 mm thermal gap.
  • 120 × 20 mm Long Strip: Narrow 6:1 rectangular format suited to elongated contact areas and precisely trimmed replacement pads.
  • Electrically Insulating: Non-electrically conductive silicone material helps reduce short-circuit risks around sensitive circuitry.
  • Flexible Silicone Construction: Conformable material helps accommodate minor surface irregularities under appropriate heatsink pressure.
  • GPU VRAM & VRM Cooling: Suitable for compatible graphics-card memory and voltage-regulation components requiring the correct pad thickness.
  • SSD & Motherboard Applications: Can be cut for appropriately sized M.2 SSDs, chipsets, memory components, and integrated circuits.
  • Wide Operating Temperature Range: Manufacturer-specified operating temperature of −50°C to +250°C.
  • Clean, Pre-Formed Installation: Cut to size, remove the protective liners, and position the material without spreading thermal grease.
  • Non-Curing Silicone Material: Maintains its non-curing thermal-interface properties rather than setting into a rigid compound.
  • Custom Cut-to-Fit Design: Trim the long strip into smaller pieces according to the original component footprint and interface requirements.
  • Laptop & Desktop Servicing: Suitable for compatible gaming PCs, graphics cards, laptops, workstations, and electronics maintenance.
