One of the primary uses of amalgamating rubber tape is in the electrical industry. Electricians rely on this tape to provide insulation and protection for electrical connections and wires. The tape can be easily stretched and wrapped around the exposed wires, creating a tight and secure seal that prevents moisture and dirt from compromising the connection. Additionally, the tape's elasticity allows it to expand and contract with the wires, ensuring a long-lasting and reliable solution.

In addition to its insulation properties, yellow tape plays a pivotal role in safety and hazard marking. Many industries utilize colored tape to demarcate hazardous areas, warn of potential dangers, or designate specific zones. The color yellow is universally associated with caution, making yellow insulation tape an effective tool for alerting individuals to be wary of risks in their environment.

You can find content on insulating motor connections in web-based magazines, YouTube, and manufacturer websites. EC&M printed a good article on taping motor lugs a few years back. You can download it here.  EC&M article download

Bike Connect is still in development, and its creators are working on adding features that will allow cyclists to use it without looking at their phones. (And, we have to ask—what’s stopping someone in a car from using this?) But it’s a great example of what some crafty technology geeks can do with a few wires, capacitors and a durable outdoor electronics enclosure.

This tape comes in eight colors:
