Thermal conductivity (W/mK) is the primary metric when evaluating a Gap Pad. However, engineers often find discrepancies in data between manufacturers or even within the same product line. This usually stems from the methodology: are we measuring the “Bulk Material” or simulating the “Actual Assembly”? Chemical Principles: Thermal Resistance vs. Thermal Diffusivity The thermal behavior […]
