A heat-dissipating member sandwiched between a heat dissipating electronic component
which reaches a higher temperature than room temperature due to operation, and
a heat-dissipating component for dissipating the heat produced from this heat dissipating
electronic component. The heat-dissipating member of this invention has an interlayer
comprising a metal foil and/or metal mesh having a thickness of 1-50 m and
heat conductivity of 10-500 W/mK, and a layer comprising a thermally-conducting
composition containing 100 wt parts of a silicone resin and 1,000-3,000 wt parts
of a thermally-conducting filler formed on both surfaces of the interlayer such
that the overall thickness is within the range of 40-500 m. This heat-dissipating
member is non-fluid at room temperature, but due to the action of heat emitted
when the electronic component operates, its viscosity decreases, and it softens
or melts based on the phase transition of the resin and low melting point metal
so that it is effectively in intimate contact with the boundary between the electronic
component and heat-dissipating component without any gaps. The thermally-conducting
filler contains a low melting point metal powder (1) having a melting temperature
of 40-250 C. and a particle diameter of 0.1-100 m, together with a
thermally-conducting powder (2) having a melting temperature exceeding 250
C. and an average particle diameter of 0.1-100 m, such that (1)/[(1)+(2)]=0.2-1.0.
