Hello! Recently started buying PCBs with peelable mask to remove the need for Kapton tape. Had no issues with our first batch, but our supplier has over-cured the second batch - it comes off in tiny bits, and is stuck in the holes. After timing the

We sometimes use a peelable mask the the PCB manufacturer (board house) adds as part of their process. It may seem an expensive option but avoids: Raising P/o's for tape/peelable mask as consumables booking & inspection Booking out to the shop floo

Is the peelable mask (put on by the boardhouse) flat on the surface of the pcb? If so can you tell me the material name, so maybe I can find a picture? We have to print adhesive on the board, so the mask has to be flat. That is why Kapton from the b

Search the archives here for info. There is lots of posts on this. Short answer is Kapton isn't the best solution. Try aluminum tape or conductive glue if you don't feel comfortable soldering with high temp stuff.

Put "attach thermocouple" in the search box above and search "forum". Lots of hits there.

I'll give a try for KIC's alu tape :)

If you're too lazy to search, the quick answer I can give you: ALUMINUM TAPE! Try it. DoE's have proven, that it's the 2nd best method for T/C attachment. The best is obviously hi-temp solder.

Shorting your thermocouple wires is not a good thing. Be careful where you contact the wires with your tape.

Hi, I'm trying to find quick and reliable method to keep thermocouple ball on the PCB to get best result from the profiling I use Kepton tape, working well but needs frequent checking if it is still glued well (seems to peel of in time) any other
