Application examples: Computer technology, monitors, printers, peripherals, consumer electronics
- Insulation between motherboard and metal housing
- Isolation between expansion cards
- Laminated together with metal foil as EMC/EMI shielding
- in black version additionally as light-proof cover for housing slots
Lighting various applications as insulation stampings in emergency lighting, information signs and street lighting Washing machines, refrigerators, dryers, etc.
- Reliable separation and the electronics can be completely “packed” into the folded punched parts.
- as contact protection for live parts
- Water vapor or water protection
Power distribution devices such as overcurrent switches, consumption meters, switch cabinets, measuring devices and switch housings. Used as insulation between earth and operating voltage. The conditions for use are:
- Good tracking resistance (CTI; 600V), non-flammability (UL94 V0)
- No hygroscopic properties
- good dielectric strength (> 6000V) and good temperature resistance (115°C).
All points are fulfilled by products of group 278xx. Application as insulation between live parts, as a cover for unused connections and in “bus bar” applications. The films can be punched very easily. With appropriate perforations or bending edges, closed “housings” are also possible as flame-retardant insulation. Most products in the 278xx series can also be self-adhesive.
