With the rapid development of electronic products, heat dissipation issues have become the focus of industry attention. Among them, silicone thermal pad are a very commonly used thermal interface filling material, which is favored for its excellent thermal conductivity and good insulation. Many people will ask during use, can silicone thermal pad be reused?
First, let us understand the working principle of silicone thermal pad. Silicone thermal pad are a sheet material mixed with silicone and other thermally conductive materials. It uses the thermal conductive particles inside the material to quickly transfer heat from the heat source to the heat dissipation device, thereby playing a role in heat dissipation. Thermally conductive silicone sheets have the advantages of softness, easy fitting, and stable thermal conductivity, and are widely used in the heat dissipation system of electronic equipment.
So, can silicone thermal pad be reused? The answer is yes, because silicone thermal pad have the advantages of high and low temperature resistance, aging resistance, and corona resistance, so that silicone thermal pad can be reused and have a good effect.
In addition, silicone thermal pad have strong compressibility and elastic recovery, that is, even if the pressure is high during use, the silicone thermal pad can also restore its original shape.
How to use the silicone thermal pad correctly to achieve the effect of repeated use?
If we want to use the silicone thermal pad repeatedly, we must learn how to use it correctly, because only by using the correct method can it maintain its original shape and function. Only if the overall shape of the silicone thermal pad and the material function inside the silicone thermal pad are not destroyed can it be used repeatedly, otherwise it will not work the next time you use it.
First of all, when we use the silicone thermal pad, we must keep the contact surface clean, because only clean can it be easily removed in the future, and it can also ensure that it can be used repeatedly after the contact surface is removed, so this must be paid attention to. In addition, if the thermal conductive silicone sheet with a larger use area is used, it should be grabbed from the center to ensure that it can be used safely without other problems. If we want to use the silicone thermal pad repeatedly, we must reduce the number and area of direct contact with the thermal conductive silicone sheet, so as to ensure that its viscosity and thermal conductivity will not be damaged. So we can’t tear off the protective film on both sides at the same time, so as to ensure that it will be effective the next time we use it.
