Sil-Pad
®
K-10
The High Performance Kapton
®
-Based Insulator
Features and Benefits
• Thermal impedance:
0.41°C-in
2
/W (@50 psi)
• Tough dielectric barrier against cut-through
• High performance film
• Designed to replace ceramic insulators
Sil-Pad K-10 is a high performance insulator.It
combines special film with a filled silicone rubber.
The result is a product with good cut-through
properties and excellent thermal performance.
Sil-Pad K-10 is designed to replace ceramic
insulators such as Beryllium Oxide, Boron
Nitride, and Alumina.Ceramic insulators are
expensive and they break easily. Sil-Pad K-10
eliminates breakage and costs much less
than ceramics.
Typical Applications Include:
• Power supplies • Motor controls
• Power semiconductors • CAGE Number 55285
Configurations Available:
• Sheet form, die-cut parts, and roll form
• With or without pressure sensitive adhesive
