Selecting the right 3M™ Thermally Conductive

Interface Tapes
In order for devices to deliver consistent reliability and performance, you need thermal management materials that stand
up to a lifetime of heat. Our 3M™ Thermally Conductive Interface Tapes are engineered to provide efficient and cost
effective thermal transfer when bonding heat sinks, heat spreaders and other cooling devices to IC packages, power
transistors and other heat-generating components.
Each tape combines high performance acrylic adhesive with highly conductive particles for reliable thermal interface.
They apply quickly and easily with high conformability for excellent wet-out on surfaces. Choose from a variety of tape
thicknesses and single and double-sided options for the right solution for your specific application.
