Sorry for asking a stupid question, but I cannot figure out what these grey thermo bars/pads are - thermal insulation pads or heat dissipation pads.
This is the the Samsung Plasma Y-sustain board. I need to replace a few capacitors and had to remove one of these pads as it covered the mounting holes. My questions:
1. What's the purpose of these pads, insulation or heat dissipation?
2. Where can I find these? I have checked mouser, element14 and rs-online, but could not find anything similar.
3. Do I really need to restore the pad I removed?
Thanks!
