Thermally conductive adhesive tapes are widely used as a simple and effective method of heat sink attachment.
Thermal performance can be good, although not nearly as good as high performance TIMs such as phase change material or
thermal grease.
The shear strength and thermal performance of an adhesive tape is dependent on many factors, such as the flatness
and cleanliness of the contact surface.
The application instructions from the manufacturer (pressure versus time and temperature),
must be followed to ensure proper adhesion.
Please refer to the specifications/instructions from each tape manufacturer.
