The High Performance Kapton®-Based Insulator
Features and Benefits
• Thermal impedance: PROPERTY IMPERIAL VALUE METRIC VALUE TEST METHOD 0.36°C-in2/W (@100 psi)
• Tough dielectric barrier against cut-through
• High performance film
• Designed to replace ceramic insulators

TSP-10is a high performance insulator. It combines special film with a filled silicone rubber. The result is a product with good cut-through properties and excellent thermal performance.

TSP-10is designed to replace ceramic insulators such as Beryllium Oxide, Boron Nitride and Alumina. Ceramic insulators are expensive and they break easily. TSP-10 eliminates breakage and costs much less than ceramics.
