Applications
3M 1181Tape is typically used for
applications requiring excellent electrical
conductivity from the application substrate
through the adhesive to the foil backing.
Common uses include grounding and EMI
shielding in equipment, components, shielded
rooms, etc. The copper foil backing is
solderable and resists oxidation and
discoloration.
Shielding Effectiveness
Many factors determine the true shielding
effectiveness of a shielding tape, including
type and thickness of foil, adhesive type,
intimacy of contact, smoothness of
application surface, strength and frequency of
the EMI signal, etc. However, using standard
tests and fixtures, it is possible to determine a
value for the attenuation.
