Shielding tape for EMI applications

Shielding tape describes the intended function against electromagnetic interference here; conductive adhesive tape describes an electrical property of the particular construction. The listed range includes metal foil tapes with conductive adhesive and variants whose product titles describe the adhesive as non-conductive. A metallic carrier is therefore not enough evidence when electrical contact through the adhesive layer is required. Check the product details and the contact point on the component.

The choice depends on the specific shielding task, electrical contact and processing on the component. The range includes shielding tape with copper foil and aluminium foil; both carrier materials are available in different constructions and with different adhesives. Neither a particular shielding performance nor suitability of the complete assembly follows from the carrier material alone. Define the area to be covered, the substrate and the required connection, then compare the data for each product.

It bonds the tape to the substrate and, depending on the product, may also form part of the electrical contact path. The listed shielding tapes differ explicitly in whether their adhesive is conductive. Where grounding or electrical contact is required, consider the carrier, adhesive and contact surface together. A conductive layer alone does not guarantee performance in the installed assembly; product data, contact geometry and testing in your application remain decisive.

Describe the intended shielding task, component, substrate and location where electrical contact is needed. For converting, add the required width or contour, delivery form and processing step. Krückemeyer GmbH can cut suitable materials to size or convert them into shaped parts for the application. Whether the tape, adhesive design and geometry fulfil the required function must be assessed for the specific product and application.
