Technical Data Sheet

Carbon Conductive Assembly Paste
Description
847 is a carbon-filled electrically conductive paste. It improves electrical connections between non-moving
parts in the same way a thermal paste improves thermal connections. It will not separate, bleed or migrate.
It reduces contact resistance, repels moisture, inhibits corrosion, and prevents static buildup. It is thixotropic
and can be used as a gap filler to ensure grounded connections or revitalize corroded sockets.

Use 847 when you want a non-bleeding paste that provides great electrical contact and environmental
protection. It is excellent for use on ground connections, battery terminals, bus bars, single pole jacks,
slide connectors, HVAC connections, speaker posts, and fluorescent light pins.

Features and Benefits

• Resistivity of 23 Ω·cm
• Improves electrical connections between irregular, pitted or corroded surfaces
• Ensures electrical contact between loose or vibrating parts
• Prevents arching, pitting, hotspots and welds
• Inhibits corrosion
• Fills gaps
• Can be used on vertical surfaces
• Silicone-free

Constant service temperature -68 to 165 °C [-90 to 329 °F]

Maximum intermittent temperature 200 °C [392 °F]

Storage temperature limits a) -40 to 40 °C [-40 to 104 °F]

a) Cold storage avoids material separation and settling. If storing at room temperature, mix thoroughly to disperse filler
before use.

Health, Safety, and Environmental Awareness

Please see the 847 Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for further details on transportation, storage, handling, safety
guidelines, and regulatory compliance.

Application Instructions

To apply the grease:

1. Wear protective gloves.
2. Clean and dry the surface being lubricated with a lint-free cloth or brush and a zero-residue cleaning
solvent, such as MG 824 Isopropyl Alcohol.
3. Apply a thin, even layer of grease using a spatula or other appropriate applicator.

Attention!
Carbon paste is messy and transfers easily. Be careful not to spread it beyond the intended area.
