Thermally Conductive Insulators

HIGH THERMAL AND DIELECTRIC PERFORMANCE INSULATOR PAD

Laird Tgard K52 is a high thermal and dielectric performance insulator pad consisting of a

ceramic filled phase change compound coated on MT Kapton film.

Laird  Tgard  K52 phase change coating all but eliminates contact thermal resistance. The phase

change coating melts at 52°C and replaces all contact areas that contain air. Tgard TM K52-1

is ideal for applications requiring the best thermal performing insulator material.

Laird  Tgard K52-2 has the best balance of thermal, dielectric and cut through performance.

Laird  Tgard K52-3 is a 3 mil PI film that provides the best crush, cut, and tear resistance available

with thermal properties that are still in the high-performance category.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• High breakdown voltage of 4,000 – 9,000 VAC

• Resistant to tears and cut through

• Total thermal resistance of

0.13 - 0.30°C-in2/watt at 20 psi clip

force

APPLICATIONS

• Audio amps

• Power modules

• Switching mode power supplies

Converting PARTS: Sheets and stand die cut availability for TO-220, TO-247, TO-3P, TO-3PL, and TO-264

CUSTOM DIE CUT PARTS: Custom configurations available with standard tolerance of 0.5mm (0.020”).

Ability to handle drawings in multiple file formats. (.DXF and .DWG preferred)

PRESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVE: Single side adhesive available on request with “A1 “suffix. Please

note this adhesive is intended to be a mounting aid and not for permanent bonding. A slight increase in

thermal resistance may be seen in comparison to material with no adhesive.
