For low voltage DC, say 1.5 to 12 Volts, it probably does not matter. For high voltage or RF, either tape may break down even though it had no conductance at a lower voltage DC. Use a tape that was intended to be an insulator against the voltage you expect it to see. Fred |

I think duct tape would be the best choice, since it was intended for a similar purpose. My concern about packing tape, is that its adhesive will dry out over a period of time, and it will eventually come unstuck. Fred |
