Your favorite heatsink tape
#1
What is your favorite?  I need it to be thermally conductive but electrically insulative at some pins on the Pro32 HV are hot on the surface of the hot side.  I would like it to be around .3 -.5mm unless you experts see that as a problem.

I was looking at 3m 8815, but then found the below for a lot less money and seems ok...

Your thoughts?

If I didn't have potential hot spots (electrical) on the VTX, I would use paste.

The sink is attached to the VTX by screws.

That tape will be fine Kro. If you haven't already purchased the heat sink, you can try a kit made for the raspberry pi 4. Comes with a few different sizes and the tape.

Thanks for the feedback, Sugs!  I do already have a sink that is specifically made for this VTX.. Smile
