Ceramic Thermal Pads: Bridging Heat Where It Matters

INNOVA Suppplies ceramic interface pads solve a fundamental problem: they create reliable thermal pathways between hot components (like power transistors) and their heat sinks, eliminating pesky air gaps caused by imperfect surfaces. Forget thermal bottlenecks – we fill those microscopic valleys efficiently.

Why Ceramic? Especially AlN?

We use two workhorse materials: alumina (Al₂O₃) and aluminum nitride (AlN). Here’s why they’re special:

AlN is the star performer: Its thermal conductivity blows alumina out of the water (we’re talking 7-10× better!).

Stays cool electrically: Top-tier insulation even under high voltage – no leakage, no breakdown.

Built tough: Handles crazy temperature swings (-50°C to 500°C+), laughs at corrosion, and won’t crack under stress.

Plays nice with silicon: Matches silicon’s expansion rate, so no stress cracks in your chips.

Silent partner: Zero noise, and crucially, no parasitic capacitance messing with your MOSFET/IGBT gates.

Where You’ll Use Them:
Perfect for:

Power devices (MOSFETs, IGBTs – you name it)

IC packaging thermal management

Heat sink interfacing

LED board TIM applications

COF (Chip-on-Film) cooling

Our Go-To: Aluminum Nitride Pads (No-Hole Design)
We stock AlN pads tailored for TO packages like:

TO-3P, TO-220, TO-247, TO-264, TO-3, TO-254, TO-257, TO-258
(Need holes? We do those too – just ask.)

Installation – Quick & Solid:

Prep surfaces: Clean both components thoroughly. Align the pad.

Stick the power device: Mount your transistor/MOSFET onto the pad.

Screw down: Secure the stack (device + pad + heatsink) with screws. Done.

Our Quality Standards – No Compromises:

Parameter Requirement Why It Matters
Thickness ±0.01mm (per your spec), Consistency in thermal stack
Flatness ≤ 0.01mm eliminates air pockets
Camber (Warp) ≤ 0.2% Ensures even pressure
Surface Finish Ra ≤ 0.5µm Smooth contact surface
Visuals Flawless – no chips, cracks, or stains. Reliability first
Cleaning Ultrasonic + alcohol wash, baked dry no residues, no watermarks
Handling Packed in ESD-safe pearl foam immediately prevents shipping damage
How We Pack Your AlN Pads:

Clean & dry: Every piece is ultrasonically cleaned, alcohol-rinsed, and baked dry.

Safe storage: Placed in partitioned pearl foam trays – 100pcs per cell.

Boxed smart: 5 cells per box (500pcs total), shrink-wrapped with a clear specs label.

Ship securely: Boxes go into reinforced cartons (21×21×12cm, ~1.5kg).
