Silicone rubber is typically known as an insulating material, but when modified with conductive fillers, it can become highly conductive. This is the case with Tiananβs TN3X0 series β a family of conductive silicone rubbers designed for electronics, EMI shielding, and conductive gaskets.
π How Does Silicone Become Conductive?
By mixing the silicone matrix with conductive agents like carbon black, silver, or graphite, the polymer can carry electrical current. These modified compounds offer flexibility and conductivity β an ideal combo for modern electronics.
- βοΈ Conductivity via fillers (not inherent in silicone)
- π Custom hardness from Shore A 40 to 70
- π§ͺ Volume resistivity from 15 to 5 Ω·cm
