3M Membrane Switch Spacer 7959MP features 3M High Performance Acrylic Adhesive 200MP, formulated for excellent shear strength, on a 5 mil PET film carrier. This adhesive withstands repeated switch actuation and forms neat, clean edges for precise slitting and die-cutting. Double PCK paper liners resist humidity, curling, tunneling and buckling, and add stability for improved sheet processing.

  • 9 mil double-coated spacer is ideal for withstanding repeated stress of switch actuation
  • 2 mil acrylic adhesive on each side delivers excellent shear strength, resists slippage and edge lifting
  • 5 mil polyester film carrier provides strength and stability
  • Adhesive resists oozing at edges and die-cuts for faster part processing
  • Layflat 58# polycoated kraft (PCK) liners add dimensional stability for various die-cutting operations

The High-Shear Advantage: Less Oozing and Tighter Edges

Introducing the 3M Membrane Switch Spacer 7959MP, featuring the high-performance 3M High Performance Acrylic Adhesive 200MP. This double-sided spacer is specifically designed to withstand the stresses of switch actuation over long periods. The adhesive is formulated to provide excellent shear strength, creating a strong and durable bond with plastics and other smooth surfaces. With less oozing at the edges, this spacer allows for easier slitting and die-cutting, resulting in faster part processing and minimal waste. The adhesive is applied at 2.0 mils to each side of a 5.0 mil polyester film carrier, adding structural strength to the spacer.

The 3M Membrane Switch Spacer 7959MP is equipped with double 4.2 mil 58 lb. polycoated kraft (PCK) paper lay-flat liners. These liners ensure consistent coverage of the adhesive, ensuring full bonding performance after application. They resist curling, tunneling, and buckling, increasing dimensional stability and maintaining their integrity even under high humidity conditions. This makes storage and processing more efficient. The liner design also enables improved rotary die-cutting at high speeds and improved sheet processing.

Recommended Applications:
  • Membrane switch spacers
  • Switch mounting
  • Circuit layer assembly
  • Metal dome placement
  • Lead protection
  • Die-cut laminations

The 3M Membrane Switch Spacer 7959MP is constructed with a 2.0 mil high-performance acrylic adhesive coated on each side of a 5.0 mil polyester film carrier. It is double-linered with a 4.2 mil, 58 lb. moisture-resistant, lay-flat PCK paper. This spacer is designed to separate switch circuitry until actuation, providing excellent temperature resistance (up to 400F/204C short-term heat resistance), as well as resistance to solvents and UV rays.

The adhesive used in this spacer, the 3M High Performance Acrylic Adhesive 200MP, is an industry standard for graphic attachment and general industrial joining applications. It exhibits outstanding adhesion to metal, polycarbonate (PC), ABS, and polyester (PET), making it a popular choice across various industries. This adhesive offers some initial repositionability for precise placement when bonding to plastics. It also performs well even after exposure to humidity and hot/cold cycles, ensuring the switch will function reliably in challenging environmental conditions and through millions of actuations.

Membrane switches are becoming increasingly prevalent in a wide range of applications due to their low cost, long life, excellent environmental performance, and visually appealing graphics. They can be found in diverse products such as farm tractors, medical test systems, microwave ovens, and fish finders. Whatever the application, 3M has a membrane switch construction that is tailored to meet the specific requirements.

At 3M Industrial Adhesives and Tapes Division, we leverage the science of adhesion to develop innovative solutions that enhance the design and manufacturing processes of companies worldwide. Our technologies help customers like you deliver competitive products to the market faster and more efficiently.
