3M™ Electrically Conductive Tapes

3M™ Electrically Conductive Tapes

Save time in a variety of specialized electronics assembly operations with 3M™ Electrically Conductive Adhesive Transfer Tapes. These long-lasting tapes can eliminate the need for screws and mechanical fasteners – while allowing the use of lighter, more compact fabric and layered foil shielding materials. Whether you're attaching EMI shields and gaskets or grounding and bonding flexible circuits and PCBs, these tapes will improve the performance and reliability of your finished products.
