WAVE ABSORBING GAP FILLING PADS
The new Aavid WaveBlocker has a high electromagnetic wave permeability allowing it
to absorb EM wave interference. It’s EM absorbing capacity ranges from 10MHz to
several GHz. Due to this unique feature, Aavid WaveBlocker pads are ideal for negating
problems associated with the noise of EM waves and heat radiation. These pads and
sheets are RoHS compliant, halogen free and free from environmentally hazardous
substances.
SIZES
Aavid WaveBlocker Thermal Interface Pads are available in full 400mm x 200mm sheets
that Aavid can cut and shape to suit your needs. They are also available in easy to use
25.4mm x 25.4mm (1”x 1”) and 76.2mm x 76.2mm (3”x 3”) pads for quick and simple
assembly.
PART NUMBERS
Part Numbers for Aavid Gap Pads are made up of six sections represent the product,

WAVEBLOCKER PRODUCT LINE DETAILS1
1 Measurement is for 1mm thickness, information on additional thicknesses is available on request.
2Strain is the ratio of the reduction in pad thickness to the initial thickness of the pad. Thermal resistance is measured in (°C x cm2/W).
