High-Flex™ Conductive Fabric Shielding Tape
High-Flex™ conductive fabric shielding tapes offer exceptional conformability and conductivity for dynamic flex applications. High-Flex tapes are constructed of Flectron™ nickel/copper metallized ripstop with a conductive pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA). This reliable tape design provides outstanding shielding performance while offering superior abrasion and corrosion resistance under high dynamic flex conditions.
Features and Benefits
- The proprietary anti-fray coating of High-Flex EMI shielding tapes virtually eliminates concerns of loose conductive fibers and their potential to cause board level damage
- Thinner design provides superior flexibility and durability
- High conductivity and shielding effectiveness
- Adhesive system provides high peel strength
- Superb adhesion of nickel copper plating
Applications
- Shielding cables on notebook computers, copiers and other electronic equipment
- "Fix-it" applications in testing laboratories
- Shielding over a component in which high conformability is essential
- Shielding or grounding in weight sensitive applications
- Shielding or grounding for electronic equipment where vibration may be present during operation
ElectroMask Tape with release mask is offered in continuous rolls of 108 feet (32,92 m) or custom die-cut shapes.
