1181 Tape Copper Foil with Conductive Adhesive Data Sheet Product Description Applications 3M 1181Tape is typically used for applications 3M 1181 Tape consists of a 1-ounce deadsoft requiring excellent electrical conductivity from the copper foil backing and a unique electrically conductive pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive. application substrate through the adhesive to the foil backing. Common uses include grounding and EMI shielding in equipment, components, shielded rooms, Deadsoft 1-ounce copper foil backing etc. The copper foil backing is solderable and resists Conductive acrylic adhesive oxidation and discoloration. Supplied on a removable liner for easy handling and diecutting Shielding Effectiveness Like all 3M shielding tapes, 3M 1181 is available in standard and custom widths and lengths. Standard Many factors determine the true shielding length is 18 yards. effectiveness of a shielding tape, including type and thickness of foil, adhesive type, intimacy of contact, Widths from 1/4 to 23 smoothness of application surface, strength and Longer lengths up to several times normal length, frequency of the EMI signal, etc. However, using dependent upon width. Check with Customer standard tests and fixtures, it is possible to determine Service. a value for the attenuation. For 3M 1181 Tape, typical shielding effectiveness (far field) is in the range of 60dB to 80dB (30 MHz to 1 GHz).
