Tensan Thermal Pads - The Outstanding Choice Standing Out in Electronic Heat Dissipation Field

Thermal Conductivity

• Tensan Thermal Pad：Take Tensan TS300 as an example. Its thermal conductivity can reach 3.0 W/m-k, which enables it to conduct heat efficiently and meet the heat dissipation requirements of many conventional electronic devices and some fields with moderate heat dissipation demands. In most daily electronic products, such as computer components with ordinary power and small household appliances, TS300 can help quickly dissipate heat from the heat source and maintain the normal operating temperature of the equipment with this thermal conductivity.
• Other Thermal Pads：The thermal conductivity of different brands and models of thermal pads on the market varies widely. Some mid- to low-end products may have a thermal conductivity only in the range of 1.0 - 2.0 W/m-k, with significantly lower heat dissipation efficiency than Tensan TS300. Of course, there are also a few high-end competing products whose thermal conductivity can be on par with or even exceed that of TS300. For example, some flagship thermal pads of brands focusing on high-performance heat dissipation have a thermal conductivity of 3.5 W/m-k or higher, aiming at extreme heat dissipation effects and suitable for working conditions with high heat generation, such as high-computing-power server chips and gaming graphics cards.

Material Characteristics

• Tensan Thermal Pad：It is usually composed of a low-modulus polymer attached to a glass fiber substrate, possessing high adhesion and low hardness properties. With excellent self-adhesiveness, it can closely and stably adhere between the heating element and the heat dissipation device during installation and use, eliminating the additional thermal resistance caused by air gaps and ensuring the continuity of heat conduction to the greatest extent.
• Other Thermal Pads：The material composition is diverse. Some are made by adding various thermal conductive fillers to a silicone matrix, and the finished products often have good flexibility. Others are made of non-silicone materials, and their characteristics vary greatly depending on the materials. For example, some thermal pads based on ceramics have a hard texture but excellent high-temperature resistance; while some rubber-based models have outstanding flexibility, which can buffer and damp vibrations, but with limited thermal conductivity.

Stability and Reliability

• Tensan Thermal Pad：The product performance is stable, with low thermal resistance, enabling it to transfer heat quickly. It has also successfully passed multiple stringent certification standards such as UL and V-O. After long-term use and being tested in different temperature and humidity environments, Tensan thermal pads like TS300 can still maintain excellent thermal conductivity, and there is no significant deterioration in physical properties, ensuring the long-term and efficient operation of the equipment‘s heat dissipation system.
• Other Thermal Pads：Overall, the stability is acceptable. However, different brands and models behave differently when facing harsh working conditions such as high temperature, high humidity, and frequent thermal cycling impacts. Some products may experience aging in a short period, resulting in abnormal changes in hardness, surface pulverization, or loss of adhesiveness, seriously interfering with the heat conduction process and use reliability. Only a few top-notch products can remain stable under complex environments thanks to special formulations and advanced manufacturing processes.

Application Scenarios

• Tensan Thermal Pad：With its balanced performance, it is widely used in LED lighting, lighting equipment, common household appliances, LCD displays, ordinary semiconductors and heat sinks, common communication products, popular smartphones, tablets, desktop computers, notebook computers and other portable computers, as well as general high-power power supplies, etc. The applicable scenarios are extremely extensive.
• Other Thermal Pads：Although all kinds of thermal pads are engaged in the heat dissipation of electronic devices, due to their different characteristics, some products have unique advantages in specific segmented fields. For example, some thermal pads with strong weather resistance perform excellently in the heat dissipation of automotive engine control devices and outdoor industrial control cabinets; some ultra-soft thermal pads are perfect for fitting micro heat pipe radiators. In contrast, their universality in the mass consumer electronics field is not as good as that of Tensan thermal pads.

Price and Cost

• Tensan Thermal Pad：The pricing strategy focuses on high cost-effectiveness, meeting the demands of most users who pursue a balance between quality and cost. While excellently fulfilling the regular heat dissipation tasks, compared with competing products with similar thermal conductivity in the same grade, it has a more competitive price in the market, helping customers obtain a high-quality heat dissipation solution at a reasonable cost.
• Other Thermal Pads：Affected by many factors such as brand premiums, raw material quality, and process complexity, the price range spans extremely wide. Some basic thermal pads produced by unknown small factories are cheap, aiming at low-price and high-volume sales. On the other hand, some internationally renowned brands that specialize in high-end heat dissipation have high-pritched products due to top-notch performance and cutting-edge technology, which are only tailored for a few professional customers who pursue extreme heat dissipation effects.
