Conductive film: turnaround in the electronics sector
Hello and welcome to the Filzwieser website! In order to break down the wide range of possible applications for our different types of film, we are launching the new category “Plastics Knowledge” on our blog. In this first article, we would like to present an advanced solution that is having a significant impact on the electronics sector: conductive films. This versatile material has numerous advantages, which we will explain in more detail below.
Tape reel systems for surface mount technology (SMT)
Precision and reliability are of the utmost importance in the SMT sector. Conductive films are the superstar here. They enable the effective production of tape reel systems, which are used for the automatic assembly of printed circuit boards. Thanks to their high conductivity and stability, they ensure that electronic components can be handled safely and precisely.
ESD protective film: the bodyguard for your electronics
Another outstanding feature of the conductive film is its ability to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD). These ESD protective films are specially developed to protect sensitive electronic components from the damaging effects of static electricity. In electronics production, protection against ESD is a decisive factor in ensuring the functionality and durability of products.
Antistatic films: safety and efficiency combined
In addition to ESD protection, antistatic films offer additional safety and efficiency. These films prevent the accumulation of static electricity that can occur during the production or storage of electronic components. This not only reduces the risk of damage, but also makes it easier to handle the components.
EX protection: For the highest safety requirements
Special protective measures are required in potentially explosive atmospheres, such as those found in the chemical and petrochemical industries. Conductive films with EX protection offer a reliable solution here. They prevent the formation of sparks that could lead to dangerous situations in an explosive atmosphere. In this way, they make a significant contribution to safety in the workplace.
Use in anode/cathode batteries
Another important area of application for conductive films is the production of anodes and cathodes in batteries. These films offer excellent electrical conductivity and chemical resistance, making them ideal for the demanding requirements of battery production. They contribute to the efficiency and longevity of batteries used in a wide range of applications, from portable devices to electric vehicles.
Conclusion: Conductive films as a key technology
Conductive films are a key technology in the modern electronics sector. Whether as a tape reel system for SMT, ESD protective film, antistatic film, EX protection or in battery production – they offer versatile solutions for various requirements.
