Copper plates have a higher heat conductivity than aluminum plates,
making them an excellent material. They easily corrode, however, and
must be protected from corrosion by nickel plating or other method to
ensure long-term application. Plastics have poor heat conductivity,
making them unsuitable for heat sinks.
Why Is It Necessary to
Apply Grease to the
SSR/Heat Sink?
Special silicon and non-silicon grease is used to aid heat dissipation.
The heat conduction of this special compound is five to ten times
higher than standard silicon grease.
This special grease is used to fill the space between a heat-radiating
part, such as an SSR, and the heat sink to improve the heat conduction
of the SSR.
Unless special grease is applied, the generated heat of the SSR will not
be radiated properly. As a result, the SSR may fail prematurely or
deteriorate due to overheating.
Available Silicon Grease Products for Heat Dissipation

AOS Company: Non-silicon type 53300 (for use in automotive plant
applications)
