THICKER THERMAL INSULATOR PAD PREVENTS ELECTRICAL SHORTS
IN AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRONICS APPLICATIONS
Tgard™ 500 is a medium thermal performance insulator pad consisting of a ceramic filled high
temperature silcone rubber coated on electrical grade fiberglass.
Tgard 500 is designed for applications that require additional thickenss to prevent electrical shorts
form stamped aluminum heatsinks used in switching mode power supplies (SMPS) and debris
from aluminum castings used in automotive motor controls.
