4.2 Thermal Epoxy

A thermal adhesive inside the ring lug terminal is critical to maintain thermal conduction between the ring lug itself and the fit of the temperature sensor within. The thermal adhesive needs to have a high thermal conductivity; strong electrical insulation; resistivity to humidity, salt water, and mild bases; and an adhesive that bonds well to substances. MG Chemicals 8329TCM is recommended as a 2-part thermally conductive epoxy adhesive. This adhesive is often used as a heat sink glue or with other heat generating electronics components. If looking for an adhesive with lower viscosity, 8349TFM is sufficient.
