3M™ Embossed Tin-plated Copper EMI Shielding Tape 1345 has an 1.4-mil embossed tin-plated copper foil backing with acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive and liner. Emboss makes contact thru adhesive. Tin-plate is for soldering and corrosion resistance.
Description
3M™ Embossed Tin-Plated Copper Foil Tape 1345 consists of an embossed 1-ounce deadsoft tin-plated copper foil backing and an aggressive pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive. The edges of the embossed pattern pressed into the foil cut through the adhesive layer to establish reliable metal-to-metal contact between the backing and the application substrate.
- Embossed deadsoft 1-ounce tin-plated copper foil backing
- Conductivity "through the adhesive"
- Supplied on a removable liner for easy handling and diecutting
Agency Approvals & Self Certifications
Meets flame retardant requirements of UL510, Product Category OANZ2, and 3M File No. 17385
RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant.
"RoHS 2011/65/EU" means that the product or part does not contain any of the substances in excess of the maximum concentration values ("MCVs") in EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The MCVs are by weight in homogeneous materials. This information represents 3M's knowledge and belief, which may be based in whole or in part on information provided by third party suppliers to 3M.
Applications
3M™ Embossed Tin-Plated Copper Foil Tape 1345 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 tin plating on the copper foil backing facilitates soldering and improves resistance to 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. For 1345 tape, typical shielding effectiveness (far field) is in the range of 75dB to 95dB (30 MHz to 1 GHz).
Specifications
3M™ Embossed Tin-Plated Copper Foil Tape 1345 shall be coated on one side with pressure-sensitive adhesive, which shall not require heat, moisture or other preparation prior to or subsequent to application. The adhesive coating shall be smooth and uniform and be free of lumps and bare spots. There shall be no separator between adjacent layers of the roll. The tape shall perform at a temperature of -40F° (-40°C) to 266°F (130°C) without substantial loss of tensile or electrical properties.
