Heat transfer material

2004-12-18 by Earl T. Hackett, Jr.

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?
