At Tapecon, we pride ourselves on being the go-to materials experts for our customers. Often, we work with electronics designers to find innovative ways to contain signals and protect sensitive components. In many cases, high-quality shielding tape is the best and simplest solution.
Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive about shielding tapes for electronic components.
Shielding tapes are simple yet effective products that can be used for a multitude of uses, including electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, radio frequency interference (RFI) shielding, static charge draining, and grounding. Since they are reliable, cost-effective, and easy to work with, shielding tapes are excellent solutions for prototyping and troubleshooting during the design process because you can take a trial-by-error approach when finding EMI leaks and fixing the source.
Shielding tape comes in a variety of constructions, including:
Shielding tapes can use solvent-resistant acrylic or conductive acrylic adhesive.
Depending on the type of tape and its material, breaking strength can range between 16 to 60 l lb/in.
Yes, many tapes are available that are UL Recognized for flame retardancy per UL 510, Product Category OANZ 2, File E17385.
Depending on the tape, rolls are available in lengths between 18 and 69 yards. Thickness of the product can range between 2.6 mil to 6.0 mil.
Yes. As a material custom converter, Tapecon can modify tape from a supplier into custom sizes and shapes to fit your precise application. Common converting processes include die-cutting and slitting. We also offer assembly services.
