3M 7100052134 Circuit Plating Tape 1280 Red 1in X 144yd

Product Description

The 3M 7100052134 is a red polyester film masking tape engineered for printed circuit board electroplating applications. The 4.2 mil (0.11 mm) film backing pairs with a silicone and rubber blend adhesive to deliver precise masking performance during plating cycles. The tape holds a clean edge under electroplating bath conditions, resisting chemical exposure and bleed-through. It is designed to be applied by PCB assembly technicians and electronics manufacturing professionals who require consistent, repeatable masking results. Each roll measures 1 inch wide by 144 yards long and weighs approximately 0.85 pounds.

This tape is used in printed circuit board fabrication facilities where selective electroplating requires accurate, chemical-resistant masking. It is suited for production environments handling through-hole and surface-mount board plating, as well as rework applications where isolated circuit areas must be protected. The red film color aids visual inspection and alignment during the masking process. Electronics assembly professionals and PCB fabricators are the primary installers and users of this product.

Key Features

• 4.2 mil (0.11 mm) red polyester film backing provides dimensional stability during electroplating
• Silicone and rubber blend adhesive bonds securely to PCB substrates
• Chemically resistant construction withstands electroplating bath exposure
• Clean edge masking minimizes plating bleed-through on circuit traces
• Red film color supports visual alignment and post-plating inspection
• 1 inch x 144 yard roll format suitable for both manual and automated application

Compatibility

Designed for use as a masking tape in printed circuit board electroplating processes, compatible with standard PCB plating bath chemistries where a polyester film tape with silicone and rubber blend adhesive is appropriate.

Installation Notes

Application is performed by PCB assembly or electronics manufacturing technicians in a fabrication environment. The tape should be applied to a clean, dry board surface to ensure full adhesion and an accurate mask edge. Remove the tape promptly after the plating cycle is complete to prevent adhesive residue buildup. Follow the PCB fabrication facility's process controls and chemical handling procedures when working with electroplating baths.
