Aluminum Foil Tape for EMI / RFI / RF Shielding

With Electrically Conductive Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (ECPSA)

ST2 & AL5 Tape is applied like any tape with a release. The tape is used to RF shield between metal substrates.

EMI-SHIELD RF Shielding Tape has aluminum foil backing with a pressure sensitive, electrically conductive, proprietary acrylic adhesive that ensures adherence. The conductive particles in the adhesive offer low resistance between the substrate and the backing. This tape is designed for applications such as static charge draining, seaming shielded rooms, cable wrapping and providing surface contact to non solderable materials. Ideal for RF shielding, grounding and static charge draining.

Wear protective gloves when installing the foil, the edge is like a razor blade. Do not solder or weld EMI-Shield AL5 Tape

Copper Foil Tape for EMI / RFI / RF Shielding

CU14 & CU50 Tape is applied like any tape with a release. The tape is used to RF shield between metal substrates.

EMI-SHIELD RF Shielding Tape has copper foil backing with a pressure sensitive, electrically conductive, proprietary acrylic adhesive that ensures adherence. The conductive particles in the adhesive offer low resistance between the substrate and the backing. This tape is designed for applications such as static charge draining, seaming shielded rooms, cable wrapping and providing surface contact to non solderable materials.
