A heat conductive composite sheet comprising (a) a heat softening, heat
conductive layer containing a silicone resin and a heat conductive
filler, and (b) a heat conductive silicone rubber layer containing a heat
conductive filler is ideally suited to use as a heat radiating structure
provided between a heat generating electronic component and a heat
radiating component such as a heat sink or a circuit board, for the
purposes of radiating heat away from the heat generating electronic
component and thus cooling it. This heat conductive composite sheet not
only offers good thermal conductivity, but if an installed heat
conductive member formed from this type of heat conductive composite
sheet needs to be removed temporarily to enable the electronic component
such as a CPU to be repaired or replaced, the electronic component is not
removed together with the heat conductive member.
