Details
Highlights
- Metallized vapor coat on white-colored carrier creates outstanding opacity for graphics
- Ideal for circuit separation in switches until actuation. Easy to die-cut and process. Use for steel rule die-cutting. Used for graphic attachment
- Provides outstanding adhesion to metal and high surface energy plastics
- Excellent moisture and solvent resistance. High temperature resistance. High shear strength accomodates the stresses of repeated actuation. UV resistant. Easy to apply. Not messy. Easily die-cutable. Use for selective die-cutting
- Acrylic adhesive delivers excellent shear strength, resists slippage and edge lifting
- Adhesive resists oozing at edges and die-cuts for faster part processing
- Lay-flat 58# polycoated kraft (PCK) liner adds dimensional stability for various die-cutting operations
3M™ Membrane Switch Spacer 7966MWS features a 2 mil white PET film carrier with a metallized vapor coat for added opacity, ideal for graphics. 3M™ High Performance Acrylic Adhesive 200MP delivers excellent shear strength during repeated switch actuation and forms clean edges for precise slitting and die-cutting. A PCK paper liner resists humidity and adds stability for improved sheet processing.
3M™ Membrane Switch Spacer 7966MWS is designed to separate switch circuitry until actuation
Featuring 3M™ High Performance Acrylic Adhesive 200MP, our 3M™ Membrane Switch Spacer 7966MWS is excellent for graphic applications. Its white 2.0 mil polyester film carrier adds structural strength, and a metallized vapor coating creates outstanding opacity for vivid graphic displays. The adhesive, applied at 2.0 mils on the face side and 5 mil on the back side, is ideal for the stresses of switch actuation over long periods. It is formulated for excellent shear strength — forming a durable bond with plastics and other smooth surfaces with less oozing at the edges. This allows for easier slitting and die-cutting, faster part processing and minimal waste.
A single 4.2 mil 58 lb. polycoated kraft (PCK) paper lay-flat liner is designed to cover adhesive consistently for full bonding performance after application. Liner resists curling, tunneling and buckling, increases dimensional stability and holds up even under high humidity for efficient storage and processing. Liner design also enables improved rotary die-cutting at high speeds, as well as improved sheet processing.
Recommended Applications

Resilient and Ready
3M™ Membrane Switch Spacer 7966MWS is constructed with 2 mil adhesive on the face side and a 5 mil adhesive on the back side of a 2.0 mil white metallized vapor-coated polyester film carrier. This membrane switch spacer is single-linered with a 4.2 mil, 58 lb. moisture-resistant, lay-flat, PCK paper. Designed to separate switch circuitry until actuation, our 3M™ Membrane Switch Spacer 7966MWS provides excellent temperature resistance (up to 400°F/204°C short-term heat resistance), solvents and UV resistance.
About our High Performance Acrylic Adhesive 200MP
3M™ High Performance Acrylic Adhesive 200MP is an industry standard for graphic attachment and general industrial joining applications. It features outstanding adhesion to metal, polycarbonate (PC), ABS and polyester (PET), making it popular across many industries. This adhesive provides some initial repositionability for placement accuracy when bonding to plastics. It also performs well after exposure to humidity and hot/cold cycles, providing confidence that the switch will perform through difficult environmental conditions and millions of actuations.
