Beyond color-coding, yellow electrical tape is often employed for insulation purposes. It is designed to withstand a certain degree of heat, moisture, and electrical current, making it ideal for insulating electrical connections. For example, when splicing wires together, applying yellow electrical tape around the connection point helps protect it from exposure to environmental elements, preventing moisture from seeping in and causing corrosion. Furthermore, this adds a layer of safety by ensuring that exposed wire does not come into contact with other conductive materials, which could otherwise lead to short circuits or electrical fires.

To avoid these problems, let’s look at the most important factors for choosing the best adhesive tape for your needs. This tape guide is not a fully-encompassing class on all of the myriad tape options and styles, but it will instruct you on the basics of tape adhesives so that you can make an informed decision. Before describing specific types of adhesives, let's define some essential tape terminology.
