Electrical Insulation Materials
Electrical insulators are manufactured from materials which restrict the flow of an electric current. They support electrical conductors without passing the current through. These particular materials also protect electrical conductors from coming into contact with people or tools and provide excellent insulation for electrical applications. All Seals insulators and shields are constructed from RoHS compliant materials. Both UL 94 VTM-0 and UL 94 V-0 approved products are available. Resistance to a wide range of chemicals along with low moisture absorption makes the application of these products ideal for printed circuits. We work directly from your blueprint in order to provide the most accurate product within tolerance. This ensures that your electrical insulator will meet and exceed your expectations.
