Wire Tape Dots, PCB Wire Tacking Adhesives
About Wire Tape Dots, PCB Wire Tacking Adhesives
Wire Tape Dots make the job of bonding jumper wires neat and fast. They are a wire tacking system consisting of pre-cut shapes of a thin, flexible polymer film coated on one side with a high performance, electronics grade permanent pressure-sensitive adhesive. The result is a highly conformable, high strength bond.
Wire Tape Dots will hold secure after exposure to numerous chemicals including cleaning solutions/sprays, saponifiers, mild acids and alkalies, and will hold secure through a typical circuit board hot water wash.
Features & Benefits
- Very good initial bond strength that increases over 72 hours to stabilize as a high strength reliable bond
- High humidity has a minimal effect on adhesive performance
- Will hold securely after exposure to numerous chemicals including cleaning solutions/sprays, saponifiers, mild acids and alkalies
- Wires will hold securely through a typical PCB hot water wash
- Can be repositioned during and immediately after initial bonding without causing adhesive transfer or loss of bond strength
- Retains its performance and properties for one year from date of purchase when stored at room temperature
Applications
- Bonding jumper wires used for modifications
- Bonding jumper wires used for conductor repairs
Specifications
