Product Description
3M™ Thermally Conductive Silicone Interface Pads 5519 and 5519S are designed to provide a preferential heat
transfer path between heat generating components and heat sinks, heat spreaders or other cooling devices. These
products consist of a highly conformable slightly tacky silicone elastomer sheet filled with thermally conductive
ceramic particles which provide special features listed as follows.
• Very high thermal conductivity and good electrical insulation properties.
• Good softness and conformability even to non-flat surfaces.
• “S” version incorporates a thin polymeric film carrier for improved handling.
• Slight tack allows pre-assembly. Good wettability for better thermal conductivity.
Standard thickness (excludes liner): 0.5 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm

Notes:
1) Shore OO Test Method based on a 6mm thick sample. Results will vary for different thickness samples.
2) Thermal conductivity can vary with test method and/or equipment used for testing at different test sites. Thermal K based on testing of the 5519. Effective Thermal
K and Thermal Resistance will be somewhat reduced with the addition of the polymeric film of the 5519S constructions.
