ARCTIC TP-3 THERMAL PADS 4PK

ARCTIC TP-3 Premium Performance Thermal Pad | High-Efficiency Heat Transfer

The ARCTIC TP-3 Premium Performance Thermal Pad 120 x 20 mm, 1 mm is designed for enthusiasts and professionals seeking reliable, easy-to-apply thermal management for components where traditional paste application is impractical. This 1 mm thick pad delivers consistent heat transfer without the mess or curing time of thermal compounds.

Key Specifications

Consistent Thermal Performance Without the Mess

Unlike liquid thermal compounds that can spill or require careful spreading, this thermal pad provides uniform heat conduction across its surface. The pre-formed design ensures the same thermal resistance every time, eliminating the variables that can affect compound application. This makes it particularly valuable for components that may need to be removed and reinstalled multiple times.

Ideal for Component Mounting Applications

With its 1 mm thickness, the TP-3 pad is perfectly suited for applications where a consistent gap needs to be maintained between heat-generating components and their heatsinks. The pad compresses slightly under mounting pressure to ensure full surface contact while maintaining the structural integrity needed for repeated assembly and disassembly cycles.

Four-Piece Value Pack

Each package contains four individual thermal pads, providing excellent value for users working on multiple devices or requiring spares for future maintenance. The 95 x 140 x 2 mm package dimensions make storage straightforward in any workshop or toolkit.
