Thermal Conductive Compounds / Silicone Thermal Pastes

Thermally conductive pastes (or silicone-based thermal compounds) are materials designed to improve heat transfer between two surfaces, typically between an electronic component and a heat sink. Their main characteristics include the ability to fill micro-irregularities by eliminating air gaps (which act as thermal insulators), long-term stability, electrical insulation properties and easy application thanks to their paste-like or creamy consistency.
