Poly-Pad
®
1000
Polyester-Based,Ther mally Conductive Insulation Material
Features and Benefits
• Thermal impedance:
0.82°C-in2/W (@50 psi)
• Polyester based
• For applications requiring non-silicone
conformal coatings
• Designed for silicone-sensitive applications
requir ing high performance
Poly-Pad 1000 is a fiber glass-reinforced
insulator coated with a filled polyester resin.
The mater ial offers superior thermal resistance
for high performance applications.
Polyester-based,ther mally conductive insulators
from Bergquist provide a complete family of
mater ials for silicone-sensitive applications.
Poly-Pads are ideally suited for applications
requiring confor mal coatings or applications
where silicone contamination is a concern
(telecomm and certain aerospace applications).
Poly-Pads are constructed with ceramic-filled
polyester resins coating either side of a fiber-
glass carrier or a film carr ier.The Poly-Pad
family offers a complete range of performance
characteristics to match individual applications.
Typical Applications Include:
• Power supplies
• Automotive electronics
• Motor controls
• Power semiconductors
Configurations Available:
• Sheet form, die-cut parts and roll form
• With or without pressure sensitive adhesive
