T1K Labels
#Top of the Document
MATERIAL DESCRIPTION:
Tyco Electronics “T1K” is a thermal transfer printable, 1mil thick (low profile)
white polyimide label with a permanent acrylic adhesive
USE:
Ideal for high temperature labeling requirements such as printed circuit boards.
Suitable for Direct Wave (bottom side) and IR Reflow (top side) PCB
applications. Designed to withstand the fluxes, cleaning solvents and molten
solder encountered in the manufacture of printed circuit boards. Excellent
contrast for bar code applications. With a flash exposure service temperature of
315°C (599°F), “T1K” is suitable for the harshest high temperature applications.
For optimum print performance and durability, use with Tyco Electronics RHT-45
series ribbon.
