Thermally conductive pad

Okay kiddo, have you ever felt how warm your laptop can get when you use it for a while? That's because the parts inside the laptop create heat.

Now, some parts of the laptop need to touch other parts for everything to work properly. But if they touch directly, they might make too much heat and get damaged. So we use something called a thermally conductive pad.

That pad is like a cushion made of special materials that let heat travel through them easily. Think of it like water flowing through a hose. The pad is like a special hose that lets heat flow from one part to another, without getting too hot or causing any damage.

So when we put the thermally conductive pad between two parts in a laptop, it helps them communicate better and work properly. It's kind of like giving them a mini blanket that lets them talk to each other without overheating!
