@danj Wait, it *needs* an electrically conductive adhesive? I have been taught that the electrical conductivity of the adhesive is required only because a non-conductive adhesive layer may interfere with the conductivity between the pad and the ground. Is that not true? Does direct contact over a surface area have a degraded effect compared to adhesive'd contact over the same surface area?
Do you have a resource of which I can see test results or etc. on such things? Not that I don't believe you, just I would love to learn more about it to avoid giving bad advice in the future if my prior learning was incomplete.
