tesa Electrical Tape for cable insulation

That depends on the individual product. tesa Professional 53988 is described as a soft PVC tape for insulating, marking, repairing and bundling cables. tesa 58347 was developed for electrical insulation when wrapping cells or insulating metal parts. tesa 51408 is a polyimide tape for processes such as wave soldering and cable wrapping. A shared category does not replace checking the specific function and conditions at your component.

They are different backing materials, and suitability depends on the complete product construction. In tesa Professional 53988, soft PVC and natural rubber adhesive form a flexible tape for cable work. tesa 58347 uses PET film and water-based acrylic adhesive for specific insulation tasks on battery cells and metal parts. tesa 51408 combines polyimide with silicone adhesive for different process conditions. The backing alone does not establish the electrical performance or temperature limits of the complete tape.

No. Suitability must be checked for the specific type and use. The product information for tesa Professional 53988 states certification to IEC 60454-3-1 and a dielectric breakdown value for that type. It is not a general approval for the entire tesa range or a finished assembly. Check the product documents, the construction of your joint and the evidence your application requires.

Describe the task, components and surfaces first. Add the required shape or roll width and the processing step, such as cable wrapping, cell wrapping or masking during production. Krückemeyer GmbH can cut suitable tapes and manufacture die-cut parts. Whether the chosen format provides the required electrical or thermal function has to be assessed for the specific material and application.
