Electrical Insulators
Electrical Insulators
Die-Cut Insulators were one of NEDC first products. This product line went along with gaskets as some of the first parts NEDC cut for customers. When NEDC first started, most electrical insulators were die-cut. However, with the new machinery that NEDC employees, waterjet, laser, and other machines also play a part.
Materials
Many of the materials used for electrical insulation are also used on our other products. In other words, gaskets, and thermal pads may also isolate an electrical current. As a result, materials including plastic, thermal interface pads, rubber, and paper like products all may have the ability to be electrically isolating.
Electrical Qualities to look for with Die-Cut Insulators
Volume Resistivity
Volume Resistvity plays a huge part in die-cut insulators. The higher this number the better. A low number indicates the materials conductivity. This number indicates how much the insulator resists electric currents.
Dielectric Strength
Dielectric Strength is an important metric with die-cut insulators. It helps determine the quality of the insulator. It is defined as the maximum voltage required to produce dielectric breakdown through the material. All the materials above would register a high dielectric strength, for example.
