Copper Foil Tape is a thin strip of copper, backed with conductive adhesive. It can be found at most hardware stores and some gardening and electronics stores. It is used to keep slugs and snails out of certain areas in gardens, potted plants, trunks of fruit trees, and other trees and shrubs.
There are a few things that differentiate this tape from others you may have seen. First, it can be used to make a circuit that will carry electricity.
Another great use for this tape is to make a stained glass window! After cutting out the pieces of glass, you'll run a piece of copper foil around the edges and fold them over to secure them in place. This is then soldered with a small torch to hold them together and create your beautiful stained glass window!
It can be used for a variety of purposes including EMI shielding, capacitive touch pads, sensor applications, ultra-thin wiring needs, and more! It's extremely flexible and very durable so it can be used for long periods of time.
In my opinion, this is the best conductive tape available. It conducts electricity on both sides of the adhesive and has a protective paper liner. This is very useful when making circuits and is much better than using non-conductive tape which will only conduct electricity on one side of the tape.
Copper foil tape is often the best choice for EMI Shielding as it is conductive on both sides of the tape and can be soldered or otherwise attached to various substrates such as printed circuit boards, microwave components, cables, antennas, and more! It is also corrosion-resistant and can be used in a wide range of industries.
Conductive copper foil tape with an electrolytic grade, high tensile copper foil backing, and a pressure-sensitive, conductive acrylic adhesive that delivers excellent adhesion and wet-out to a broad range of industrial and electrical applications such as EMI/RFI shielding, cable wrapping, and surface contact to non-solderable materials such as plastics, metals and more! This copper foil conductive tape is UL 510 Recognized.
EMI/RFI Shielding Tape is a double-sided tin-clad copper tape that is conformable and easy to apply with a release liner that aids in die cutting. It offers EMI/RFI shielding to seal components from radiating or leaking interference and is highly effective for IC chips, electrical cabinets, cable motors, and static dissipation.
