TECHNICAL DATA SHEET www.tycoidento.com T2K Labels Document number: TTDS-035 Issue: 4 Date: February 2007 MATERIAL DESCRIPTION: Tyco Electronics “T2K” is a thermal transfer printable, 2mil thick white polyimide label with a permanent adhesive. USE: Suitable 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 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 538°C (1000°F) , “T2K” is suitable for the harshest high temperature applications. For optimum print performance and durability, use with Tyco Electronics RHT-45 series ribbon.
