Subject: Heat transfer material

From: "Earl T. Hackett, Jr." <hacketet@...>

This isn't exactly related to PCB construction, but this is about the best group I know of to ask.

I have some electrical coild about 0.5" dis. x 0.75" long. They are being used to power electromagnets at about 5 VDC and 0.6 amp. They appear to be getting a bit on the hot side when run continuously. There are some heavy aluminum structural components around them that would make fine heat sinks - if I can get the heat to them.

Does anyone know of a good thermal conductive material that will fill gaps from 0.05" to 0.1" wide?
