3M 7010045055 Pcb Tape 851 Green 3in X 72yd 4.0 Mil

Product Description

The 3M 7010045055 is a greenback printed circuit board masking tape designed for PCB plating and related circuit board masking processes. It uses a 1 mil polyester film backing with a heavy-coat silicone and rubber blended adhesive that provides excellent conformability over board surfaces, traces, and component areas. Total tape thickness is 3.6 mil. The roll measures 3 inches wide by 72 yards long and is translucent green in color, making it easy to visually confirm coverage during masking. This tape is specified by electronics assembly technicians and PCB fabricators working in production or rework environments.

This tape is used in printed circuit board plating masking applications where a conformable, chemically resistant mask is required during selective plating or wave soldering prep. The polyester film construction resists the chemical exposure common in plating baths, and the blended adhesive releases cleanly without leaving residue that could compromise board performance. It is suited for both production line use and bench-level PCB rework operations.

Key Features

• 1 mil polyester film backing with heavy-coat silicone and rubber blended adhesive
• 3.6 mil total tape thickness for reliable masking coverage
• Excellent conformability for irregular PCB surface geometries
• Translucent green color for easy visual inspection of masked areas
• 3 inches wide by 72 yards per roll for production-scale use
• Designed for PCB plating masking and related circuit board fabrication processes

Compatibility

Designed for use in printed circuit board plating masking applications. Suitable for production and rework environments where a conformable polyester film masking tape is required during PCB fabrication or selective plating processes.

Installation Notes

Application is typically performed by electronics assembly technicians or PCB fabricators following established board masking procedures. Ensure board surfaces are clean and free of flux residue or contamination before applying tape to achieve proper adhesion and mask integrity. Remove tape promptly after plating or processing per your process specification to minimize any adhesive interaction with board surfaces. Follow applicable IPC standards and facility safety guidelines when working with plating chemistries.
