Design Force and Design Gateway software have been updated for CR-8000 multi-board design.

Opaque black polyimide tapes come in ESD-safe and halogen-free flame retardant options. Single- and double-coated tapes are designed for masking and bonding applications involving light-sensitive devices that need to withstand high temperatures and harsh environments typical of PCB manufacturing. Constructions are available with 0.5, 1 and 2 mil polyimide films, acrylic and silicone pressure-sensitive adhesives and semi- and matte-gloss levels. Custom 0.5 mil matte black polyimide is also available. Are REACH and RoHS compliant; offer high dielectric strengths for electrical insulation and surface resistances of >10^4 Ohms. Provide thermal protection up to 300°C and peel voltage of <100V.
