3M 7000048396 Pcb Tape 851 Green 0.5in X 72yd 4.0 Mil

Product Description

The 3M 7000048396 is a greenback printed circuit board masking tape designed for PCB plating and related circuit board fabrication processes. It features a 1 mil polyester film backing with a heavy coat weight silicone and rubber blended adhesive that provides strong adhesion and excellent conformability around board edges, traces, and tight geometries. Total tape thickness is 3.6 mil. The translucent green color makes it easy to identify masked zones during inspection. This tape is sold by the roll and is used by electronics assembly technicians and PCB fabrication professionals who require precise, clean masking during plating operations.

This tape is suited for use in printed circuit board plating masking applications where a thin, conformable film tape is needed to protect specific board areas during electroplating or chemical processing. The polyester film construction resists moisture and chemicals encountered in typical PCB plating baths. It is appropriate for use in both production line and bench-level rework environments where clean removal and precise coverage are priorities.

Key Features

• 1 mil polyester film backing with heavy coat weight silicone and rubber blended adhesive
• 3.6 mil total tape thickness for low-profile masking in tight PCB layouts
• Excellent conformability for masking irregular board surfaces and component edges
• Translucent green color allows visual inspection of masked areas
• Designed specifically for printed circuit board plating masking processes
• Roll format — 0.5 inches wide by 72 yards per roll

Compatibility

Designed for use in printed circuit board plating masking applications where a thin polyester film tape with chemically resistant adhesive is required.

Installation Notes

Application is typically performed by electronics technicians or PCB fabrication personnel in controlled production or rework environments. Ensure the board surface is clean and dry before applying tape to achieve proper adhesion and prevent plating solution intrusion at tape edges. Remove tape promptly after the plating process is complete and before adhesive dwell time causes residue buildup. Follow facility safety protocols when working with plating chemicals and related process baths.
