TO-220, TO-247, TO-264 and TO-3P insulator pad sizes

Perfect Insulations holds ten fibreglass-reinforced silicone insulator pads as stock die-cuts: two TO-220 sizes, five TO-247 sizes, one TO-264 and two TO-3P. Each is cut to the package outline, with the mounting hole pre-punched where listed, and each is available in five material grades from 1.0 to 2.0 W/m·K.

Stock pad sizes

Sizes are the pad outline in millimetres. Where a mounting hole is listed, it is pre-punched at that diameter. Prices are indicative per-piece rates excluding 18% GST, and fall as the quantity rises.

Material grades

Every stock size is offered in all five fibreglass-reinforced grades below. The grade sets the thermal conductivity and the pad thickness; the package sets the outline.

SC 451.0 W/m·K0.45 mm
PCV 160S1.6 W/m·K0.23 mm

PCV 200S2.0 W/m·K0.25 mm

What the pads are

A TO-package insulator pad sits between the metal tab of a discrete semiconductor — a MOSFET, IGBT, rectifier or regulator in a TO-220, TO-247, TO-264 or TO-3P package — and the heatsink it is bolted to. The pad conducts heat from the tab into the heatsink and electrically isolates the tab from it.

These pads are silicone with a woven glass-fibre carrier through the middle of the sheet. The carrier gives the pad resistance to cut-through under the clamping load of the mounting screw.

Other outlines, notches, tab clearances and hole positions are die-cut to your DXF or PDF drawing in the same material grades.

Frequently asked

How many stock TO-package pad sizes do you hold?

Ten: TO-220 in 13 × 19 mm and 15 × 20 mm; TO-247 in 17 × 22 mm (two hole sizes), 17 × 27 mm and 20 × 26 mm (two hole sizes); TO-264 in 22 × 28 mm; and TO-3P in 19 × 24 mm and 25 × 22 mm.

What thicknesses are the TO-package pads?

From 0.20 mm to 0.45 mm, depending on the material grade: TC-20TAG-2 is 0.20 mm, PCV 160S 0.23 mm, PCV 200S 0.25 mm, SC 30 0.30 mm and SC 45 0.45 mm.

What is the minimum order for stock TO-package pads?

50 pieces per size. Stock sizes can also be ordered directly on the thermal solutions page within the quantity band shown there, and paid by UPI.

Can you cut a pad for a package outline not listed here?

Yes. Send a DXF or PDF drawing with the material grade and quantity, and the part is quoted and die-cut to that outline.
