Thermal Grizzly DeltaMate Extender MF14 Matt Nickel — thermal interface plate, matt nickel finish

Thermal Grizzly DeltaMate Extender MF14 Matt Nickel is a thin thermal interface plate finished in matt nickel designed to improve heat transfer between electronic components and heatsinks. The extender plate provides a stable, conductive surface for bridging small gaps and enhancing mechanical contact where direct attachment of a heatsink is impractical. Its matt nickel finish offers corrosion resistance and a neutral appearance suitable for visible or enclosed builds in PCs, GPUs and compact electronics.

Advantages

The extender plate delivers consistent thermal conduction across uneven contact areas and reduces thermal resistance compared with air gaps. Its rigid metallic construction ensures durable mechanical coupling and repeatable performance during installation and maintenance. The matt nickel surface balances conductivity with protection against oxidation, preserving interface stability over time without requiring adhesive or additional mounting hardware in many applications.

Suitable for

• PC and GPU cooling where component-to-heatsink gaps exist
• Small form-factor electronics and embedded systems
• Prototype and repair work requiring a thin conductive bridge
• Situations needing a non-adhesive, reusable thermal interface

Key specifications

• Material: metallic thermal interface plate with matt nickel finish
• Function: improves thermal conduction and bridges small gaps between components and heatsinks
• Surface finish: matt nickel for corrosion resistance and stable contact
• Form factor: thin, rigid plate suitable for compact installations
• Compatibility: designed for use with PC components, GPUs and small electronic assemblies

How to use

Place the DeltaMate Extender MF14 between the heat-generating component and the heatsink so that flat surfaces make full contact. Ensure both mating surfaces are clean and free of dust, grease or old thermal compound before installation. Adjust positioning to avoid shorting neighbouring circuits; if necessary, use non-conductive spacers or insulating washers where electrical isolation is required. Tighten mounting hardware evenly to achieve uniform pressure across the plate without bending or deforming it.

Recommendations

For optimal thermal performance, combine the extender plate with an appropriate thermal interface material on both sides if small surface irregularities remain. Verify compatibility with board layouts and component clearances before permanent installation. Avoid using the plate where direct electrical contact could create a short; if electrical isolation is necessary, add an insulating layer that does not unduly increase thermal resistance.
