Transformer Tape
Have just received an inverter transformer for a monitor power supply board.
It has yellow transparent tape around it. Do I remove the tape before fitting or leave it on? The one I am taking off does not have any tape on it. |

Re: Transformer Tape
DealExtreme.com sells Kapton tape cheap. It's not that yellow tape but is high temperature and apparently is used for transformers, even where high voltage safety is needed.

Re: Transformer Tape
If the tape is still sticky, and you have a use for it, keep it. Otherwise it will just sit around adding to a larger mess of stuff
