Its valve tip and squeezable tube enable precise 1.0 mm wide lines on a wide range of substrates including plastics, metals, ceramics, wood, and 3D printing materials. Perfect for prototyping, hobbyists, and makers seeking reliable, economical conductive connections without the need for extreme conductivity. ## Description The 838AR-P carbon conductive pen is a conductive, fast drying paint in a convenient pen format. It quickly and easily creates conductive traces that are durable, reliable, and corrosion resistant. It adheres to a wide variety of substrates. The paint is a tough acrylic polymer pigmented with high purity Carbon black. The Carbon black imparts superior corrosion resistance as well as high conductivity. This product works best on smooth, flat, and hard surfaces. It has a Valve tip that opens when the pen is pressed against the surface to be drawn on and it has a soft tube, so the flow may be controlled by squeezing the center of the pen. It is used to draw resistors and connect grounds in prototyping, hobbies, or Maker projects. It can be used to create traces where a higher resistance connection is desired such as when drawing in jumpers or other simple electrical connections. It is good for restoring conductivity to contact surfaces and extending contact areas. Use it as an economical alternative to nickel or silver paints where extreme conductivity is not required. Attention! shake rigorously before use. For best results hold pen at angle, depress pen tip against surface, and draw pen across surface while gently squeezing middle. ## Features - Creates durable, reliable, conductive connections - Volume resistivity: 0.46 ohms·cm - Typical trace width: 1.0 mm - Dries to touch in minutes - Adheres to plastics, epoxy, copper, aluminum, ceramics, wood, and most electronic substrates as well as ABS, PLA, and other 3D printing plastics ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01LZX06PL | | Best Sellers Rank | #154,321 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #67 in Electrically Conductive Adhesives | | Date First Available | September 24, 2016 | | Item Weight | 0.387 ounces | | Item model number | 838AR-P | | Manufacturer | MG Chemicals | | Product Dimensions | 3 x 1 x 8 inches | ## Images ![838AR-P Total Ground Carbon Conductive Pen, 4g - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31MFbpmetdL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this work to coat the non-working rubber buttons on a remote control** A: Yes, this worked great. First, clean the circuit board where the contacts are using Isopropyl alcohol. I also used Iso to clean off the rubber dot, which is usually a conductive carbon substance. Then apply the *carbon* version of this product to the black dot. Cover the whole surface and let it dry completely before re-assembling. **Q: Can this be used to repair a broken strip in a car rear defogger?** A: I just tested a 1/2" long x1/8" wide strip on a piece of pyrex glass and got 0 resistance for that length. It seems to conduct well for a short distance and stuck to the glass very well. I hope this helps. **Q: Does it work for making a PCB?** A: In my opinion, it's far from the ideal for making your own PCB. I can see it being used for prototyping of low voltage/low current circuits.This particular compound is based on nickel, which is not a as conductive as copper.This pen would work fine for the small repairs like cuts or tears in the existing PCB traces. BTW, there's a more conductive version of this pen which is based on silver.Aside from conductivity issue, there's an issue of securing parts to PCB. I,also, doubt you can solder to the trace drawn with this pen. **Q: Is this pen good for making a jumper on a circuit board?** A: Yes, it's great for that but even the carbon conductive (lowest quality) pen would work for that ## Frequently Bought Together - MG Chemicals 838AR-P Total Ground Carbon Conductive Pen, 4g - CaiKot 44, Conductive Silver/Carbon Coating for most surfaces --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/34214805-838ar-p-total-ground-carbon-conductive-pen-4g](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/34214805-838ar-p-total-ground-carbon-conductive-pen-4g) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-08-01*
