EMI and RFI materials play an important role in preventing interference to devices with electronic components, and as technology continues advancing, the materials used in these applications must also support these advancements.
The Electronics Materials Division at 3M™ introduced three innovative electrically conductive tapes:
- 3M tape 5113SFT-50
- 3M tape 5113DFT-50
- 3M tape 1050TC-25
3M™ Electrically Conductive Tape 5113 Series
3M™ Electrically Conductive Single-Sided Tape 5113SFT is an XYZ-axis single-sided fabric tape (SFT) consisting of a conductive matrix carrier and 3M’s innovative new conductive polyolefin PSA.
3M™ Electrically Conductive Double-Sided Tape 5113DFT is an XYZ-axis double-sided fabric tape (DFT) consisting of a conductive matrix carrier and 3M’s innovative new conductive polyolefin PSA.
Both 5113SFT and 5113DFT have a base of 3M’s new proprietary polyolefin conductive adhesive and provide a premium performance including high adhesion, low electrical resistance, a longer shelf life, improved temperature resistance, and excellent grounding and shielding performance.
Features of 3M™ 5113 Series:
- NEW proprietary polyolefin CPSA
- High adhesion
- Extended shelf life
- Low contact resistance
- Conformable
- Long-term performance at high temperatures (105 ˚C) for demanding applications
- Halogen free and RoHS compliant
3M™ Electrically Conductive Single-Sided Tape 1050TC Series
3M™ Electrically Conductive Single-Sided Tape 1050TC is an XYZ-axis electrically conductive pressure sensitive adhesive (CPSA) tape that helps enable devices to meet electromagnetic compatibility requirements.
It consists of a conductive copper foil backing, conductive acrylic adhesive layer and a polyester (PET) release liner. This 3M copper tape provides excellent XYZ-axis-based conductivity, reliable contacts to small-size grounding areas, and excellent EMI shielding and electrical reliability over time. The thin product construction is ideal for applications with less Z-space. It offers high adhesion for a one-sided thin tape, and good grounding performance to many surface types.
Features of 3M™ 1050TC:
- Thin profile
- Standard & reliable performance over time
- Excellent EMI shielding
- Stiffer copper foil = easy handling & workability
