Tape Guards Circuits During Fabrication, High-temp Masking
December 16, 2005 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
WINDSOR, Conn. — Scapa 650 from Scapa Industrial is a high-temperature masking tape for low-static protection of gold-plated finger tabs, assembly holes and components during flux, preheat and soldering processes. The tape also targets high-temperature industrial masking in clean rooms.
Scapa 650 features a specially treated paper, single-coated with a silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive. It is said to offer low electrostatic discharge (ESD) at unwind, eliminating PCB degradation. After processing, the silicone adhesive is removed from the surface easily.
During hot air leveling and wave soldering, the tape protects against chemical, solvents, solder and rinse water, improving adhesion to electrical substrates. Scapa 650 offers a suitable alternative to polyimide tapes.
