AOK TP300 Compare with Bergquist Gap Pad® Gap Pad A3000/300s30
Polyester film supported, soft silicone-elastomer with thermal conductivity of 3.0 W/m-K. Conformable at low pressure to minimize stress on components and fill gaps. Good dielectric properties. Handles easily without crumbling.
these type of thermal materials are a thermally conductive, filled-polymer laminate, supplied on a reinforcing mesh for added electrical isolation, easy material handling and enhanced puncture, shear and tear resistance. Gap Pad A3000 has a reinforcement layer on the dark gold side of the material that assists in burn-in and rework processes while the light gold and soft side of the material allows for added compliance.

Gap Pad 3000S30 is a soft gap filling material rated at a thermal conductivity of 3 W/m-K. The material offers exceptional thermal performance at low pressures due to an allnew
3 W/m-K filler package and low-modulus resin formulation. It is reinforced to enhance material handling, puncture, shear and tear resistance. It is well suited for high performance, low-stress applications that typically use fixed standoff or clip mounting. Gap Pad 3000S30 maintains a conformable yet elastic nature that allows for excellent interfacing and wet-out characteristics, even to surfaces with high roughness and/or topography.
Protect your unit from the YLOD and other problems caused by overheating. These thermal pads are manufactured in the China AOK. These are high performance with 3.0 W/m-K . They have adhesive on both sides for maximum effectiveness. They are reinforced to resist tearing and puncture. They are soft and very easy to work with. These thermal pads are compatible with both original and most slim PS3s. They are 1.5 mm thick and far superior to the thermal pads already installed in your unit. One of the best things you can do for your unit to keep it cool is installing new thermal pads. This will significantly decrease your chance of getting a YLOD.
