LAIRD TFLEX 6160
Harmonization Code : 3506.10.00.00 | Prepared glues and other prepared adhesives, not elsewhere specified or included; products suitable for use as glues or adhesives, put up for retail sale as glues or adhesives, not exceeding a net weight of 1 kg
Main features
- 0.160-Inch Gap-Filler Format
- Highly Compliant Low-Stress Contact
- Naturally Tacky Adhesive-Free Placement
Product Description
Tflex 6160 provides a nominal 0.160 in ceramic-filled silicone sheet for filling thermal gaps between mating electronic surfaces. As part of the Tflex 600 family, it has typical thermal conductivity of 3.0 W/(m K), Shore 00 hardness of 51, and volume resistivity of 2 x 10^13 ohm cm. Its highly compliant construction is intended for low-stress contact, and natural tack removes the need for an additional adhesive coating. The material is electrically insulating and has a -45 to 200 deg C temperature range. Applications cover automotive electronics, instrumentation, portable devices, routers, gaming systems, and wireless infrastructure.
Key features
- 0.160 in gap-filler sheet: The thickness-coded grade has a nominal 0.160 in format.
- Highly compliant construction: The soft interface pad is intended for low-stress applications.
- Naturally tacky surface: Placement requires no additional adhesive coating.
Applications
Automotive ADAS; automotive electronics; drones and satellites; gaming systems; instrumentation; notebooks, tablets, and portable devices; wireless infrastructure.
