How often should the insulated silicone thermal pad be used and replaced?

Good quality thermal conductive silicone pad, generally used for a few years is completely no problem. Although the thermal conductive silicone pad has a longer service life, it is generally recommended to replace the thermal conductive silicone pad after five years of use.

Why is the replacement cycle of thermal conductive silicone pad five years?

Due to the long-term use of thermal conductive silicone pad, its thermal conductivity and thermal resistance will decline, resulting in material aging and other phenomena, so that the thermal conductivity and performance is worse than before.

The thermal conductive silicone pads produced by different manufacturers are easy to cause some differences in the service life of thermal conductive silicone pads due to the different material selection and production process. In order to avoid the failure of thermal conductive silicone pads, the current five-year life cycle is based on the average life of mainstream thermal conductive silicone pads on the market. It is generally recommended to replace the thermal conductive silicone pads when the life cycle exceeds five years.

In addition, the use of heat-conducting silicone pads will also affect their service life. Improper installation of environment and use, long-term use will lead to oxidation, dry, black. Therefore, there is no need to follow five rules. The annual cycle should be replaced. The most important thing is to replace the thermal conductive silicone pad in time according to the use of it.
