3M Conductive Copper Tape, 12.7mm (W) x 16.5m (L) - 1181 Series - 1181/12.7

Need a reliable conductive tape for electromagnetic or radio-electrical shielding? This dead-soft copper tape from 3M will do the job. It features a unique electrically conductive pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive and it's highly resistant to solvents, UV rays, humidity and mould. You can solder this tape, and it comes with a removable liner to enable easy handling and die-cutting. Tensile strength of 44N/cm means you can rely on this product for durability.

• Operating temperature range of -20°C to +155°C makes it suitable for challenging conditions• Adhesion strength of 3.8N/cm keeps it firmly in place

Applications

• Electromagnetic or radio-electrical shielding• Grounding and EMI (electromagnetic interference) shielding in equipment• Shielded rooms

What's the difference between conductive copper tape and non-conductive copper tape?

• Designed for electromagnetic or radio-electrical shielding
• Suitable for soldering
• Grounding and EMI shielding in equipment
• Components
• Shielded rooms

Non-conductive copper tape is conductive on one side only. Conductive copper tape is conductive on both sides, meaning you can easily make electrical connections by simply taping multiple lengths to one another.

How does shielding with copper tape work?

Shielding can protect delicate components from electromagnetic interference by creating a Faraday cage – a conductive, grounded enclosure – around the components.
