T-gard™ 500
Thicker Thermal Insulator Pad Prevents Electrical Shorts in
Automotive Electronics Applications
T-gard™ 500 is a medium thermal performance insulator pad
consisting of a ceramic filled high temperature silicone rubber
coated on electrical grade fiberglass.
T-gard™ 500 is designed for applications that require additional
thickness to prevent electrical shorts from stamped aluminum
heatsinks used in switching mode power supplies (SMPS) and
debris from aluminum castings used in automotive motor controls.
T-gard™ 500 is used in applications that require an interface of
2.5ºC/watt or higher on a TO-220 mounted @ 50 psi pressure.
Features and Benefits:
- High dielectric strength of > 6,000 volts AC
- Thermal resistance of 0.45°C-in
/watt at 50 psi - Thermal resistance of 0.35°C-in/watt at 400 psi
- Thick enough to encapsulate burrs of stamped heatsinks
Applications:
- Automotive motor controls
- Switching mode power supplies
- Stamped aluminum heatsinks
