What is LED thermally conductive silicone grease? How to apply thermal grease correctly?

Nowadays, with the gradual increase of people's awareness of environmental protection, there are many kinds of lighting tools with energy-saving and environmental protection functions in the market, among which LED lamps are a very common electronic product. LED lamps are a very common type of electronic product. The long-term use of LED lamps will inevitably lead to a reduction in the life of the circuit board.

What is LED thermal grease?

First of all, we need to understand what is thermal grease. The so-called thermal grease is a paste with heat dissipation properties. The main component of this thermal paste is silicone copper, but there are also other materials with good thermal conductivity. LED thermal grease is used in some LED products to ensure the heat dissipation of the circuit boards in LED products.

How to apply thermal grease correctly?

In the face of the various and complicated LED thermal greases on the market, people need to be clear about the scope and purpose of their use when choosing one, and not to be blind.

After choosing a good thermal grease, how should we apply the correct thermal grease?

When using thermal grease, people need to understand the premise that thermal grease does not need to be a large pile when it is used. This is because a more concentrated state of thermal grease can reduce its performance and affect its effectiveness. Therefore, when using thermal grease, it is necessary to spread it evenly to avoid aggregation.

It is therefore advisable to apply the thermal grease evenly, starting from the middle of the electronic component. Place a small amount of thermal grease in the middle of the electronic component and spread it evenly around, the thinner the better, to ensure the heat dissipation effect.
