Premium 9 mil double-coated membrane switch spacer with high-performance acrylic adhesive, polyester film carrier, and moisture-resistant liners for industrial applications
The 3M™ Membrane Switch Spacer 7959MP is a premium double-coated adhesive spacer designed for high-performance membrane switch applications. This 9 mil spacer features 3M™ High Performance Acrylic Adhesive 200MP applied at 2.0 mils on each side of a 5.0 mil polyester film carrier, providing exceptional shear strength and durability. The spacer is engineered to withstand repeated switch actuation cycles and forms neat, clean edges for precise slitting and die-cutting operations.
The product incorporates double 4.2 mil, 58 lb. polycoated kraft (PCK) paper lay-flat liners that resist humidity, curling, tunneling, and buckling. These moisture-resistant liners add dimensional stability for various die-cutting operations and enable improved rotary die-cutting at high speeds. The adhesive resists oozing at edges, reducing material waste and accelerating part processing. With excellent temperature resistance up to 400°F (204°C) short-term, the spacer performs reliably across demanding industrial environments.
This membrane switch spacer is ideal for separating switch circuitry until actuation and is widely used in applications ranging from farm tractors and medical test systems to microwave ovens and fish finders. The High Performance Acrylic Adhesive 200MP provides outstanding adhesion to metal, polycarbonate, ABS, and polyester substrates, with excellent performance after exposure to humidity and hot/cold cycles. The product comes in roll configuration for easy integration into manufacturing processes.
