M.2 SSD Thermal Pad Akasa AK-TT600-KT03 1.5 mm, 600 W/m·K thermal conductivity

Thermal Pad Akasa AK-TT600-KT03 is a 1.5 mm thick thermal interface engineered for effective heat transfer from M.2 SSD components to heatsinks or chassis surfaces. With a rated thermal conductivity of 600 W/m·K, the pad is intended to improve cooling performance, reduce thermal throttling and maintain stable performance during sustained load. The material is soft and conformable, allowing it to fill microscopic gaps between the SSD controller/flash packages and the contact surface, and it can be trimmed to the required shape and size for desktop or laptop M.2 installations.

Advantages

The thermal pad provides a high thermal conductivity value that facilitates rapid transfer of heat away from critical SSD components. Its 1.5 mm thickness accommodates uneven surfaces and creates reliable contact without excessive compression. The pad is easy to cut and fit, enabling quick retrofits or new builds. By improving thermal coupling between the SSD and a heatsink or chassis, it helps reduce temperature spikes and sustain performance under continuous workloads.

Suitable for

• Cooling M.2 NVMe and SATA SSDs in desktop motherboards and expansion cards
• Upgrading thermal interface in laptops with M.2 drive access
• Custom cooling solutions where a conformable, high-conductivity pad is required
• Replacing degraded or undersized thermal interface material on SSDs

Key specifications

• Material thickness: 1.5 mm
• Thermal conductivity: 600 W/m·K
• Form factor: easily trimmable pad for custom sizing
• Physical properties: soft, conformable thermal interface
• Primary use: heat transfer between SSD components and heatsink or chassis

How to use

Measure the area to be covered on the M.2 SSD and cut the thermal pad to the appropriate shape and size using a sharp blade or scissors. Clean the contacting surfaces of the SSD and heatsink or chassis with isopropyl alcohol and allow them to dry. Place the pad so it covers the controller and NAND packages without overlapping mounting screws or connectors, then install the heatsink or secure the chassis panel to establish firm contact. Ensure the pad is not compressed beyond its recommended thickness range and verify clearance for any adjacent components.

Recommendations

For best results, check component clearances before cutting and fit the pad to avoid contact with electronic connectors or screw holes. Replace the pad if it becomes torn, hardened, or no longer provides consistent contact. Use with appropriate heatsinks or chassis designs that allow heat to dissipate away from the SSD.
