This Product Selection Guide contains information to help select products in the [Adhesives, Epoxies, Greases, Pastes](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/thermal/adhesives-epoxies-greases-pastes/220) category on [DigiKey.com](http://DigiKey.com) > Products in this family are fluids, gels, or semi-solids used primarily to aid the heat transfer between objects such as a transistor and a heatsink or a printed circuit board assembly and a device enclosure. A variety of materials are included, some of which provide additional functions such as adhesive bonding, mechanical cushioning and shock absorption, or environmental sealing. **Selection**** Characteristics** > **Type:** Indicates the specific type or nature of the product. > **Size/Dimension:** Indicates the amount of a product received. > **Usable Temperature Range:** Recommended temperature as indicated by the manufacturer, typically given in a range or as a maximum. Exceeding these temperatures may affect performance or damage the product and other system components. > **Color:** The dominant color of the product. > **Thermal Conductivity:** Characterizes a material’s thermal energy transfer properties; typically measured using a standard method such as ASTM D5470. > **Features:** These are different capabilities or properties of the product such as odorless. > **Shelf Life:** Indicates the period of time for which material properties and performance are expected to remain within the manufacturer’s specifications, when stored and handled as indicated. > **Storage/Refrigeration Temperature:** The recommended temperature range to store the item to maintain its shelf-life expectancy. **Product**** Examples** [![Image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/digikey/original/3X/7/7/771be147db629bed7938fa9ed71a103df9db04d4.jpeg)](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/shiu-li-technology-co-ltd/PK223DM-110/14009032) | MFR PART # | PK223DM-110 | | --- | --- | | DIGIKEY PART # | [3153-PK223DM-110-ND](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/shiu-li-technology-co-ltd/PK223DM-110/14009032) | | MANUFACTURER | Shiu Li Technology Co., Ltd. | | DESCRIPTION | TWO-PART THERMAL LIQUID GAP FILL | | DATASHEET | [Click Here](https://lipoly.com/pdf/PK223DM.pdf) | [![Image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/digikey/original/3X/f/8/f83cb2a8e634bc6e8fb7a27d717b4ef6fd658847.jpeg)](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/mg-chemicals/8329TCS-6ML/6035512) | MFR PART # | 8329TCS-6ML | | --- | --- | | DIGIKEY PART # | [473-1221-ND](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/mg-chemicals/8329TCS-6ML/6035512) | | MANUFACTURER | MG Chemicals | | DESCRIPTION | ADHESIVE - THERMAL CONDUCTIVE EP | | DATASHEET | [Click Here](https://www.mgchemicals.com/downloads/tds/tds-8329tcs-2parts.pdf) | [![Image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/digikey/original/3X/8/1/813097fe6741df84486bda552b8b6a5b50bfa608.jpeg)](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/mg-chemicals/832TC-450ML/655660) | MFR PART # | 832TC-450ML | | --- | --- | | DIGIKEY PART # | [473-1089-ND](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/mg-chemicals/832TC-450ML/655660) | | MANUFACTURER | MG Chemicals | | DESCRIPTION | THERMALLY CONDUCTIVE EPOXY | | DATASHEET | [Click Here](https://www.mgchemicals.com/downloads/tds/tds-832tc-2parts.pdf) | **Media**** Links** Videos [Applying Thermal Grease](https://www.digikey.com/en/videos/a/aavid-thermalloy/applying-thermal-grease) [How to Apply Thermal Interface Material: Thermal Tape](https://www.digikey.com/en/videos/a/advanced-thermal-solutions/how-to-apply-thermal-interface-material-thermal-tape) [Thermal Interface Material](https://www.digikey.com/en/videos/a/aavid-thermalloy/thermal-interface-material) Articles [Thermal Management Introduction](https://www.digikey.com/en/articles/an-introduction-to-thermal-management) [What to Know When Procuring Thermal Solutions](https://www.digikey.com/en/articles/thermal-what-purchasers-need-to-know) [Don’t Forget About Thermal Interface Materials](https://www.digikey.com/en/articles/dont-forget-about-thermal-interface-materials) [Device Thermal Coupling on a PCB](https://www.digikey.com/en/articles/device-thermal-coupling-on-a-pcb) Product Training Modules [Thermal Interface Product Selection - T-Global](https://www.digikey.com/en/ptm/t/t-global-technology/thermal-interface-product-selection) [Thermal Interface Materials - Würth Elektronik](https://www.digikey.com/en/ptm/w/wurth-electronics-inc/thermal-interface-materials) [Thermal Interface Materials - Bergquist](https://www.digikey.com/en/ptm/h/bergquist/thermal-interface-materials-tim) TechForum [Thermal Interface Materials](https://forum.digikey.com/t/thermal-interface-materials/13240) [Do I need a Thermal Interface for my Heat Sink?](https://forum.digikey.com/t/do-i-need-a-thermal-interface-for-my-heat-sink/1382) [Can I Use Thermal Grease After It’s Expired?](https://forum.digikey.com/t/can-i-use-thermal-grease-after-its-expired/1288) ### If you have any general questions on the specifications for selecting [Adhesives, Epoxies, Greases, Pastes](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/thermal/adhesives-epoxies-greases-pastes/220), please reply using the button below.
