3M Thermally Conductive Silicone Interface Pad 5516S is the same as 3M Pad 5516 but with a polymeric permanent film on 1 side for ease of reworking an assembly. Thermal Conductivity and Impedance slightly changes, dielectric strength is improved.
- Good thermal conductivity (3.1 w/m-K)
- Good softness and is conformable at low pressure ( Shore 00 =72)
- Softness results in low stress on board components
- Good dielectric properties
- “S” version incorporates a thin polymeric film carrier for improved handling and a non-tacky surface for ease of rework
- Slight tack allows pre-assembly

PRODUCT FAQ
-
What is the 3M™ Thermally Conductive Interface Pad Sheet 5516S?
The 3M™ Thermally Conductive Interface Pad Sheet 5516S is a thermal interface material designed to provide excellent thermal conductivity between electronic components and heat sinks.
-
How does it work?
When placed between two surfaces, the Thermally Conductive Interface Pad provides a path for heat to transfer from one surface to the other, improving overall system cooling performance.
-
Can I cut the sheet into smaller pieces?
Yes! The pad can be easily cut into different sizes or shapes as needed. Be sure to use proper protective wear such as gloves and eye protection while doing so.
-
How many sheets come in a case?
Each case contains twenty (20) sheets of the pad material, each measuring at 320 mm x 230 mm with a thickness of 2.0mm per sheet.
-
Is this product environmentally friendly?
. Yes! The proprietary formula used in this product includes silicone resin which lends itself towards an improved sustainability rating when compared against existing industry standards.
3M™ Thermally Conductive Silicone Interface Pad 5516S has a soft pad that conforms to uneven substrates, providing excellent wettability to fill gaps for improved thermal performance. The "S" supporting layer (permanent film carrier) has a non-tacky surface, providing excellent workability, puncture resistance, and the flexibility to rework materials. The thin, firm, low-tack layer provides easy handling for pre-assembly and die-cutting. This pad provides robust thermal management for applications in a variety of market segments, such as consumer electronics, automotive, LED lighting, medical devices, communication infrastructure, and aerospace & defense.
Recommended Applications:
- Heat transfer between PCB and heat sink
- Integrated chip (IC) packaging heat conduction
- Chip on film (COF) heat dissipation
- Gap filling in electronic devices
- Decrease of compression stress to electronic parts by thermal pad softness
Examples:
- LED displays
- Electric vehicle (EV) batteries
- Wireless charging units
- Satellite navigation
- Sensors
- Process control equipment
- Test & measurement devices
