I sent a query to loctite via their website asking for precut TO-220 / TO-247 Silverstrate pads.

But if a paste like material has better conductivity I'll probably just go with that.

I wasn't able to find an easy way to order the Silver Ice 710 online, I may have to just call the manufacturer.

Unfortunately for me, Artic Silver 5 is not electrically conductive or I'd just go with that, as it's easy to source.

Sorry Jay.  I did not try to order the material.  I walked down to my
workshop and found the material that I have used.  It is call Silver Ice
710 and is made by Timtronics out of NY.  I had the stuff for a long
time.  It is a gray grease and is not a change phase material.  I looked
at the cut sheets on the Loctite and the Silver Ice 710.  Looks like the
Silver Ice has a better electrical and thermal conductivity than the
Loctite. Tomorrow I will call my old company and get contact for Loctite.

Thanks for that link. Unfortunately, when I tried to order, it turns out
they are not in stock, have a minimum 53 piece order quantity, and a 5-6
week shipping delay.

[I also didn't know how many I'd need, because the 1.57 x 1.57 size does
not have any units on it, so I didn't know if it was mm, cm, or inches.]

Ideally if I was to use Silverstrate, I'd like to buy pre-cut TO-220 and
TO-247 sized pads for the MOSFETS and DIODES.

I just did a google search and got this supplier.  This compound is
electrically conductive.  I would be careful.  Very seldom have I used a
conductive thermal compounds.  I would check conductivity between the
lead and the device.  And for sure, I would check conductivity after I
installed the Diodes and Mosfets.

That depends upon your application. Between the controller's outside and
the base plate, I agree with you.

However, I'm using this between the MOSFETS and DIODES and the interior
heatsync, which also doubles as one of the power rails. The circuit is
designed such that the mosfets and diode cases must be electrically
connected to the heatsync. (The heatsync is electrically isolated from
the case by a SiPad.)

So I'm looking specifically for something that will conduct electricity
AND heat. (The MOSFET's and DIODES are connected via a screw, which will
conduct electricity, but I figure the lower the resistance the better.)

The carbon grease is electrically and thermally conductive, but it
appears to be designed for switch contacts more than simiconductor
heatsync applications, and is probably not as conductive as a silver
grease, so I'm still poking around looking at what my options are to
purchase.

Hi folks
Heat sink grease should be NON conductive electrically but thermally conductive 
white grease.  You can also use thermosil less thermally conductive but less 
messy or Kapton.
