NEW PRODUCT – Conductive Hook & Loop Tape (Velcro) – 3″ long
NEW PRODUCT – Conductive Hook & Loop Tape (Velcro) – 3″ long – Conductive hook & loop tape is just like the “Velcro” you’ve seen on clothes and bags, but is coated with silver to make it fully conductive. Originally this was designed to the manufacture of static-safe clothing, but it’s great for wearable applications as well. For example an on-off switch or sensor.
Each order ships with three inches of BOTH halves, it’s easily sewn or cut.
Technical Details:
- Expected cycle life: 5000 openings/closings
- Shear strength: 12.3 psi (new) / 6.7 psi (after 5000 cycles)
- Peel strength: 1.2 piw (new) / 0.8 piw (after 5000 cycles)
- Weight: 0.15 oz/in²
- Weight of 3″ piece: 1.38g
- Mated thickness: 1/8 in
- Resistivity: Hook: 1.8 Ohm per sq, Loop: 1.4 Ohm per sq, 0.8 Ohm through mated closure
