No it is an extremely poor conductor, being thought of as a good insulator, but if electricity at a high enough voltage , and the rubber trying to protect the current from escaping is too thin, then the current can jump across the insulation gap. Fortunately the manufacturers of electric cables, switches, dynamos and other everyday products like electric kettles, light fittings, the wiring of a house or a car know very well how much insulation is needed in whatever they make.

Workers involved with electrics will wear rubber shod boots, or stand on rubber mats, wear rubber gloves or other insulating materials, and why their tools are specially made; such as a screwdriver with a plastic handle, or wire cutters with insulated handles.
If you mean a conductor of electricity then no its not

Is rubber a good conductor of heat?

No, rubber is not a good conductor of heat. It is a poor conductor of heat because it is a good insulator, meaning it does not allow heat to pass through it easily. This property makes rubber useful for applications where heat insulation is required.

How do you make rubber as a conductor?

Rubber is an insulator, not a conductor. To make rubber conductive, it can be mixed with a conductive material like carbon black or metal particles. This creates a composite material that allows the rubber to conduct electricity.

Is a rubber band made of conductor or insulator?

A rubber band is typically considered an insulator because it does not conduct electricity well. Rubber is a poor conductor of electricity due to its high electrical resistance.
