Product details
Sur-Seal Sur-Cool Thermal Pad is a pre-cut thermal pad designed to fit between a COB LED (such as a CREE CXB3590) and its heatsink. Its practical purpose is to improve heat transfer from the LED into the heatsink, helping move thermal energy away from the light source for more effective thermal management in LED assemblies. Like thermal grease, it bridges the microscopic gaps between components, but it does so with a cleaner, pad-based layer rather than a messy paste.
Features:
- Pre-cut for a snug, purpose-fit setup between a COB LED (example: CREE CXB3590) and a heatsink
- Provides heat transfer to the heatsink to help draw heat away from the COB/LED
- Cleaner installation than thermal grease, since there’s less mess involved
- Helps promote more uniform heat distribution across the mating surfaces
- Slightly tacky feel for easier placement before assembly
- Features a plastic film on both sides that should be removed before use
- Designed to avoid drying out over time, unlike some paste-like thermal compounds
Specifications:
- Intended application: Thermal interface pad between a COB LED and a heatsink
- Example COB compatibility: CREE CXB3590 (and similar COB LED to heatsink setups)
- Preparation before installation: Remove the plastic film on BOTH sides before use
