Hi Everyone,

I was wondering what do you call the kind of rubber/foam type heat sink
you typically find attached on a IC in a small non/poorly ventilated
casing (e.g. pager, cell phone)? Its typically gray in colour and feels
soft and rubbery. I think some of the old Apple Powerbooks also use
them to vent heat to the casing.

Anyone also knows where I can buy them?


thermal interface pads.

do quite a range of different types

The one called "Kool-PadsŪ HeatPath GTQ 2100 " looks like the same stuff
I've seen inside CDROMs etc.
