Fabricated Mica. The term 'Fabrication' applies to operations, such as cuttings, stamping and punching of natural sheet mica to specified size, shape, thickness and design within close dimensional tolerance for electrical and electronic end-users.
Normally, mica is fabricated with compound dies by foot or power punch process, especially if the finished piece contained perforation of any kind. A compound die punches the outside shape and all the inside holes with one stroke of the press most accurately. The compound die necessary for stamping natural sheet mica may be grouped in two general categories. One category comprises the highly complex dies required to produce Mica Spacers containing a number of perforations in various sizes and shapes for use in electronic tubes. The extremely critical dimensions and spacing of the perforations can be obtained only with fully designed and accurately constructed dies.
Fabricated Mica is used for insulation in electronics, terminal insulation, stove windows, transistor and diode shields. We can provide finished parts to print or the raw material known as mica block. Natural mica will range in color from a pale ruby to light green depending on the origin within India. Natural mica can be split with a sharp blade or point into the edge and carefully popping the layer off. Muscovite mica can withstand temperatures of 1000°F and Phlogopite 1400°F.
