TM Tflex 500 Series Thermal Gap Filler Innovative Technology for a Connected World CoMplianT 2.8 W/ mK TherMally ConduCTive Gap Filler Tflex 500 is a compliant elastomer gap filler designed to provide excellent thermal performance while remaining cost effective. This soft interface pad conforms well with minimal pressure, resulting in little or no stress on mating parts. Tflex 500s unique silicone and filler combination has extremely low silicone extractables compared to many other silicone interface products. Tflex 500 meets NASA outgassing specification. Tflex 500 is naturally tacky, no adhesive coating is required. Tflex 500 is electrically insulating, stable from -50C to 200C and is certified to UL 94V0 flammability rating. FeaTureS and BeneFiTS Thermal conductivity 2.8 W/mK Highly compliant and cost effective Low thermal resistance even at low pressure Available in thicknesses from 0.020-inch (0.25mm) through 0.200-inch (5.0mm) in 0.010-inch increments Naturally tacky for easy assembly Low silicone extractables appliCa TionS Cooling components to chassis Telecommunication hardware Thermal module for notebook computer LED solid state lighting Power electronics Computer servers Graphics cards Gaming systems LCD and PDP flat panel displays Industrial automation equipment Wireless infrastructure Fragile ASIC components Automotive engine control IT devices Military electronics global solutions: local support TM Americas: +1.800.843.4556 Europe: +49.8031.2460.0 Asia: +86.755.2714.1166 CLV-customerservice lairdtech.com www.lairdtech.com/thermalTM Tflex 500 Series Thermal Gap Filler Innovative Technology for a Connected World TM Tflex 500 Tpy i Cal prpo er TieS Thermal Gap Filler Preliminary TM Tflex 500 Thermal Resistance verse Pressure Tflex 500 TEST METHOD Preliminary 2.0 5200 Filled silicone 5160 Construction NA 1.5 elastomer 5120 5100 Color Light Blue Visual 1.0 580 560 Thermal Conductivity 2.8 W/mK ASTM D5470 540 0.5 520 40 Hardness (Shore 00) ASTM D2240 (at 3 second delay) 0.0 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 Helium Pressure (psi, 1 psi = 6.9 KPa) Density 3.0 g/cc Pycnometer Tflex 500 Defection verse Pressure (ASTM D575) Standard Thickness 0.020 - 0.200 80% Range (0.5 - 5.1mm) 70% 5200 Thickness Tolerance 10% 60% 5160 5120 50% UL Flammability Rating 94 V0 UL 5100 40% 580 Temperature Range -50C to 200C NA 30% 560 Volume Resistivity 10 13 ohm-cm ASTM D257 540 20% 520 Outgassing TML 0.29% ASTM E595 10% 0% Outgassing CVCM 0.04% ASTM E595 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 Pressure (psi, 1 psi = 6.9 KPa) Coefficient Thermal 37.4 ppm/C IPC-TM-650 Expansion (CTE) 70C-130C 2.4.24 STandard ThiCKneSSeS 0.020 to 0.200-inch (0.25 to 5.0mm). 0.020 to 0.030-inch (0.5 to 0.76mm) thick material come standard with fiberglass reinforcement. 0.020 through 0.200 thick material available in 0.010-inch (0.25mm) increments. opTionS Proprietary DC1 option available to eliminate tack from top side to aid in handling.
