3M RFI and EMI - Shielding and Absorbing Materials 9713 12"X36YD

3M,Ñ¢ XYZ-Axis Electrically Conductive Tape 9713 is an isotropically conductive pressure-sensitive tape designed for effective EMI/RFI shielding and gasket attachment. This double-sided tape features a high-performance acrylic adhesive loaded with conductive fibers, allowing it to conduct electricity in both the Z-axis and X/Y planes. It is suitable for use with various foil laminate shields, such as aluminum/PVC and copper/PVC, and can also attach conductive fabric or foam core EMI gaskets to electronic cabinets. The tape has a thickness of approximately 0.0035 inches (0.0889 mm) and provides low contact resistance, with values under 2.5 ohms for aluminum and under 0.5 ohms for copper substrates. It exhibits good adhesion properties, with peel strength increasing over time, and is effective in a temperature range up to 158°F (70°C) for long-term applications. The product is available in widths from 1/4 inch to 14 inches and comes in a standard length of 36 yards. 3M tape 9713 is particularly advantageous for applications requiring quick assembly and a solid bond line without gaps, which can lead to EMI emissions. It is recommended for use in environments where reliable electrical performance and adhesion to metal surfaces are critical.
