It refers to *conductive* thermal paste, i e electrically conductive. You need to use Thermal paste though.

I'd suggest that it means thermally conductive paste but NOT electrically conductive.

The last thing you want is any excess electrically conductive paste in/around the PA area.

A thin smear of thermal paste on contacting surfaces is sufficient.

Ya, I realized that right after I posted that. I quickly deleted the post, but the emails went out. :)
