ARCTIC COOLING

ARCTIC COOLING ACTPD00013A thermal paste 120x20x1.0 mm 6.0 W/mK

SKU CH-2YRD-468CW MPN ACTPD00013A

Pack of two 120x20x1.0 mm silicone pads with 6.0 W/mK conductivity for filling uneven gaps between components and heatsinks

  • Efficient heat transfer with 6.0 W/mK conductivity
  • Low-hardness silicone filler bridges uneven surfaces and gaps
  • Electrically isolating pad prevents damage to circuit traces
  • Pre-cut 120 x 20 x 1.0 mm size fits common component layouts
  • Pack of two pads covers multiple installation needs

Thermal pad for uneven surfaces

The ARCTIC ACTPD00013A is a silicone-based thermal pad measuring 120 by 20 by 1.0 mm with a thermal conductivity of 6.0 W/mK. It is sold as a pack of two pads. The material is designed to fill gaps between uneven surfaces where traditional grease would be ineffective. It suits builders needing a non-conductive interface for memory modules, voltage regulators or similar components.

Passive operation and electrical safety

The pad transfers heat without any moving parts, so it adds no noise and draws no power during normal use. Its silicone composition contains no metallic particles, making it electrically isolating and non-capacitive. Contact with exposed electrical traces will not cause short circuits or damage. The low hardness allows it to compress easily under mounting pressure.

Pre-cut format and handling

Each pad arrives pre-cut to the stated dimensions, ready for immediate application without trimming. The soft, compliant texture conforms to surface irregularities and maintains contact through thermal cycling. Because the material is non-adhesive, it can be repositioned during installation and removed cleanly during maintenance. The pack of two provides a spare for future upgrades or multiple components.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 120x20x1.0 mm pad and what step do people get wrong?

Cut the pad to size, peel the protective film, place it on the component without stretching, then mount the heatsink evenly; the common mistake is leaving the film on one side.

Will the 6.0 W/mK silicone pad need replacement later?

Silicone pads can dry out or lose compressibility after several years of thermal cycling; replace if temperatures rise noticeably or the pad feels brittle.

What limit appears first under sustained load with this 1.0 mm thickness?

The 1.0 mm thickness caps the maximum gap it can bridge; if surfaces are uneven beyond that, contact becomes incomplete and temperatures climb.
