Unless the pad is damaged, it makes a fine “gap filler” to attach the device
to a heatsink. You don’t get thermal compound all over everything when using
the pads ….
Given the (large) surface area and the amount of heat involved, the relative
performance of silver loaded (gray) thermal
I recently purchased an LPRO rubidium from the auction site. The mounting
surface is covered with a thin soft, dry light blue material with a sheet
of brownish plastic film underneath. I assume this is the remains of an
