Glue for conductive rubber?
Anyone found a way to stick conductive rubber parts together? Or maybe you know what type of rubber it is? Butyl, nitrile, latex?

Re: Glue for conductive rubber?
Have you tried E6000? It works on silicones, which are notoriously hard to glue.KazimirO wrote: Thu Jan 09, 2025 11:31 pm Anyone found a way to stick conductive rubber parts together?
Latex is unlikely, but if there's an elastomer there's probably a conductive version of it somewhere.KazimirO wrote: Thu Jan 09, 2025 11:31 pm Or maybe you know what type of rubber it is? Butyl, nitrile, latex?
In terms of basic price, I'd expect polyurethanes to be the most common. Your best bet will be to look for a datasheet on the specific product you're using though.

Sorry, this is the product: https://www.adafruit.com/product/5464
It doesn't seem to have a datasheet.
I've tried silicone, and normal tire cement doesn't work. Maybe it's EPDM? Nitrile?

Got it.. I'll see if our products team has any more information.

You're probably needing a conductive adhesive?

Re: Glue for conductive rubber?
Oddly enough, the adhesive does not need to be conductive for my use case. Insulating it is more the issue.
