Thermalsilicone pad is a heat transfer mediumto reduce thermal contact resistance between the heat source surface and contact surface of radiator parts. In the industry, it is also called the thermal silica films, thermal conductive silicone pads, soft cooling pads and so on. As the electronic equipment continually makes more and more powerful function integrate into smaller and smaller components, the temperature increasing will lead to equipment running slowly, device fault, confined space and many other performance problems. So the temperature control has become one of the critical design challenges, that is, in the situationof framework of austerity and smaller and smaller operation space, how to effectively take away more heat produced by larger and larger unitpower.
 Thermal conductive silicone pads can be used in household appliances, such as air conditioner, microwave oven, home heaters and some others that need silicone pads cooling. In the power industry, as long as it belongs to the high powercomponents, such as transformers, capacitors, resistors, inductors and other products,so they will need heat-conducting silica sheets to disperse the heat to shells. In the LED industry, thermal silicone pads also have wide application, and they are used to transfer the heat ofAluminum substrate in the work to the bottom of the housing of LED lamps. What's more, the silica pad can be used in other industries such as automotive electronics, optoelectronics and so on.
