High Performance — Very Soft
Based on silicone and a special filler, TP-3 outperforms high-performance pads, especially when height differences of closely spaced chips typically occur due to manufacturing tolerances. The TP-3 offers excellent thermal conductivity despite extremely low hardness.
How is tested?
TP-3_thickness_comparison
Minimization of Thermal Resistance
The thinner the pad, the lower the thermal resistance. The TP-3 pad with a thickness of 0.5 mm can easily be compressed to 0.3 mm and thus compensate for height differences between various components of up to 0.2 mm. Please note that due to the extremely low hardness, the installation of the 0.5 mm pad requires extra care. Please refer to the user manual.
Versatile Applications
Heat-conducting, vibration-damping, mouldable, electrically insulating — safe and easy to use. Thanks to its good compression properties, the soft heat conduction pad is particularly gentle on components and at the same time a good heat conductor. In addition to the standard format for M.2, the TP-3 is available in various sizes and thicknesses, which can be easily cut to the desired shape and size. This makes it ideal for RAMs, chipsets, and ICs of all kinds, which are used in PCs, laptops, consoles, graphics cards, and electronic devices in general.

Safe Handling
The ARCTIC TP-3 is electrically insulating, non-adhesive, and easy to handle. This means that optimal and safe heat transfer can be ensured in many application areas.

Bridging Gaps
The TP-3 is softer than conventional pads and therefore particularly suitable for different chip heights and possible tolerances. Thanks to their good compressibility properties, the thermal pads act as the perfect gap filler and bridge uneven surface and air gaps without stressing sensitive and protruding components.
TP-3_thickness_sizes
Available in Different Thicknesses and Sizes
Our thermal pads are available in a choice of 0.5 mm, 1.0 mm, and 1.5 mm. The 0.5 mm variant is ideally suited as an alternative to heat-conducting foil. The pads are available in different dimensions, depending on their thickness. If required, the pads can also be independently cut to any size.
TP-3_stackle
Stackable without Performance Loss
The ARCTIC TP-3 thermal pads can be stacked particularly well due to their softness and low Interfacial Contact Resistance. This allows for flexible adaptation to various application requirements and the bridging of different thicknesses without compromising the efficiency of heat transfer. In contrast, harder pads often lose performance when stacked.

Note:
ARCTIC made a conscious decision not to specify any values for the thermal conductivity of its thermal paste and thermal pads, because many manufacturers invent, artificially inflate or embellish this value. Thermal paste has a thermal conductivity of 1 to 4 W/mK. Values outside of this range, such as 12.5 W/mK, are at odds with the truth.
Many competitors quote values above 4 W/mK to suggest better performance. This often leads to false expectations and dissatisfied users.
ARCTIC offers its customers innovative thermal interface materials at the best possible price-performance ratio instead of relying on manipulated performance data.
