The Bergquist Company has announced the rollout of its latest Soft Tack product, Sil-Pad 1100ST, which features inherent tack on both sides and dual liners for easy placement and a thermal impedance of 4,26°C-cm²/W at 3.5kg/cm2. The material is fibreglass-reinforced and silicon-based, designed specifically for high-volume auto-dispensing applications. Typical applications include automotive ECMs, power supplies, motor controls and any electronic power device that needs a thermal interface with its heat sink. The product is ideal for low mounting pressure applications, delivering exceptional thermal performance with easy assembly.

Sil-Pad 1100ST’s inherent tack eliminates the need for additional adhesive layers so that dispensing is made easier and interfacial resistance remains low. The tack also facilitates assembly, as the material is repositionable on the target surface without the quality problems often associated with other PSA-coated products. Sil-Pad 1100ST is therefore a complete thermal management solution, ideal for automated production processes. Sil-Pad 1100ST is available in sheets, rolls or die-cut pieces of any shape or size, with a standard thickness of just 0.305mm (0.012 in). Standard sheet size is 304.8mm x 304.8mm (12 in x 12 in) and the standard roll size is 304.8mm x 76.2m (12 inches x 250 ft). Custom thicknesses, sizes and die-cut shapes are available on request.
