RS Components expands portfolio with innovative Electric Paint and Touch Board from new supplier partner Bare Conductive

Electric Paint is electrically conductive, non-toxic, solvent-free, and water-soluble. It can be used as a liquid wire, as a cold-soldering medium, or even as a conductive adhesive. Suitable for use with low-voltage DC power supplies, Electric Paint can be used as a potentiometer and is ideal for prototyping, repairing PCBs, and painting circuits and sensors on any surface.

The Touch Board microcontroller board integrates a capacitive touch chip, MP3 player, SD Card slot, Li-Po battery charger, and 12 electrodes. The electrodes can be connected directly to conductors, such as Electric Paint pads, to trigger sounds via the MP3 player or other functions such as wireless communication or motor control added using an Arduino expansion shield.

“Starting our partnership with RS Components opens an exciting new thread in the story of Bare Conductive, and will help us expand our passion for creating unexpected ways of interacting with electronics to a global commercial and industrial customer base,” said Matt Johnson, CEO of Bare Conductive.

“The creative energy at Bare Conductive is palpable, and makes it a delight to work with this team,” commented Ben Lawton, Global Head of Tools & Consumables at RS Components. “The added strength of our distributor services, including one-stop online shopping, high-speed logistics, and the DesignSpark interactive environment for engineers, creates a persuasive offer for our customers and a platform to build this partnership and achieve even greater success in the future.”
