If you open up a laptop, it’s the orange film that's often used to hold wires in place, and insulate parts from the casing.
Flexprints by-and-large are based on Kapton-like substrate as well.
Duck tape for applications needing large range of temperature stability and/or good electrical isolation. I saw it used extensively in aerospace electronics for commercial aircraft.
It gets used a lot in electronics assemblies, and places where you need high temp resistance (reflow ovens, SPACE), and low-to-no outgassing (important in vacuum applications). So it makes sense that they'd have it onboard.
So, uh, that's possibly a 'yes.'
Is that similar tape as the metal infused 'speed tape' that they use for temporary repairs or to seal panels on jetliners?
No, it's the clear orange tape you see wrapping up electronics exposed to heat some times. Polymide plastic film.
Thanks for the clarification. I wonder if it is tape they have on board specifically for this kind of thing, or whether they just repurposed tape used for insulating electrical work on the ISS?
Probably kind of both. Kapton tape is extremely tough and useful for a lot of things. It's pretty common in space applications, they probably had it around for a variety of uses.
