What is Tesa 60246?
Tesa 60246 is a single-sided conductive foam tape engineered for demanding electrical and mechanical bonding tasks. It utilizes a conductive acrylic adhesive applied to perforated foam, enabling reliable conductivity in all directions (X, Y, and Z), while maintaining strong adhesion and cushioning properties under high temperature and humidity conditions.
Composition and Structure
- Base material: Conductive foam
- Adhesive type: Conductive acrylic
- Total thickness: 300µm (0.3mm)
- Color: Grey
- Release paper: 120µm thick PE coated paper (white or blue with trademark)
- Surface resistance (X-Y direction): 0.2 Ohm/square
- Contact resistance (Z direction, initial): 0.03 Ohm/square inch
Key Properties
- Excellent XYZ-direction conductivity
- High adhesion even in harsh environmental conditions
- Superior shock absorption and cushioning
- Excellent foam stability to prevent particle shedding
- Short-term temperature resistance up to 160°C
- Reliable long-term bonding performance (5.3 N/cm on steel after 14 days)
Applications of Tesa 60246
- EMI shielding and grounding in electronic devices
- Electrostatic discharge protection in sensitive components
- Conductive bonding in automotive manufacturing
- Fixing and connecting components on circuit boards
- Use in electronics, communication equipment, and industrial electronics
- Bonding and mounting in printing, packaging, and signage
Features & Benefits of Tesa 60246
- Maintains stable conductivity in high humidity and temperature
