You may have seen a lot of people working with copper tape, but what is it really? It's simply a strip of copper that can be formed into almost any shape, and it can conduct current like wire. Copper foil tape has an adhesive backing that makes it great for sensing applications. It has been used for EMI shielding, antenna-making, ultra-thin wiring, and capacitive touch pads, among other uses.
While copper tape is most commonly known for its use as a pesticide, it's also great for other gardening projects. It's a natural deterrent, as slugs and snails find it difficult to pass through the material. Slugs and snails have a difficult time passing over copper, as copper reacts with viscous fluids. So, using copper foil tape around your garden plants will create an effective barrier.
Conductive copper foil tape has an acrylic adhesive backed by a copper foil. This copper foil tape offers dual-sided conductivity, which is ideal for shielding and anti-interference applications. Its strong stickiness also makes it useful for lining a pickguard or cavity with a flexible conductor. Its dual-sided conductivity allows it to block electromagnetic interference and is flexible enough to perform in a variety of temperatures.
EMI/RFI shielding is one of the most important features of copper foil tape. By shielding the enclosures, this tape will minimize electromagnetic induction. By shielding circuits, copper foil tape prevents interference with other electrical components. Copper foil tape is one of the finest magnetic materials used in the industry. It's used for grounding and simple grounding applications. A double-sided tin-clad copper foil tape is available for enhanced solderability.
EMI shielding tape is a conductive adhesive shielding tape for 600V applications. This copper foil tape is supplied on a removable liner. It is rated for 600V dry applications and is made with dead soft copper foil backing. This type of shielding tape is commonly used for cable wrapping and surface contact with non-solderable materials. However, the true effect of copper foil tape is dependent on several factors, such as adhesive strength and solderability.
