How often does the insulating 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 the replacement cycle of thermal conductive silicone pad in five years?

Because the thermal conductive silicone pad is in long-term use, the performance of its thermal conductivity and thermal resistance will decrease, which will cause material aging and other phenomena, which will make the thermal conductivity and performance worse than before.

And thermal conductive silicone pads produced by different manufacturers, because of the difference in material selection and production process, this will easily cause some differences in the service life of thermal conductive silicone pads. In order to avoid the failure of thermal conductive silicone pads, the current five-year life cycle is According to the average life cycle of the mainstream thermal conductive silicone pads on the market, it is generally recommended to replace the thermal conductive silicone pad after the five-year life cycle is exceeded.

In addition, the use of thermal conductive silicone pad will also affect its service life. Improper environment and use and installation may cause it to oxidize, dry out and become black after long-term use. Therefore, it is not necessary to follow the five rules. The annual cycle is to be replaced, and the most important thing is to replace it in time according to the usage of thermal conductive silicone pad
