3M(TM) XYZ-Axis Electrically Conductive Tape 9712 is an isotropically conductive pressure sensitive tape. The tape consists of a 3M adhesive loaded with conductive fibers. The result is a double-sided tape providing both good adhesion and good electrical performance. 3M tape 9712 is ideal for attaching EMI shields to electronic and electrical devices. 3M tape 9712 may be used with many types of foil laminate shields, such as aluminum/PVC or copper/PVC laminates, to provide a customized shielding solution. This tape may also be used to attach conductive fabric/foam core EMI gaskets to electronic cabinetry. 3M tape 9712 may be applied in strips or die cut to specific shapes and sizes. Compared to screws or other mechanical connectors, 3M tape 9712 provides reduced assembly time and a solid bond line with no gaps which might result in EMI emission.
