Product Description

Technical Data
3M™ XYZ-Axis Electrically Conductive Tape 9712 is an isotropically conductive
pressure sensitive tape. 3M tape 9712 conducts electricity through the thickness (Z-
axis) and in the plane of the adhesive (X, Y planes) and is ideal for EMI/RFI shield
and EMI/RFI gasket attachment to metal surfaces. The tape consists of a 3M adhesive
loaded with conductive fibers. The result is a double-sided tape providing both good
adhesion and good electrical performance. The conductive fibers in 3M tape 9712
also provide improved handling characteristics.
3M tape 9712 is ideal for attaching EMI shields to electronic and electrical devices.
3M tape 9712 may be used with many types of foil laminate shields, such as
aluminum/PVC or copper/PVC laminates, to provide a customized shielding
solution. This tape may also be used to attach conductive fabric/foam core EMI
gaskets to electronic cabinetry. 3M tape 9712 may be applied in strips or die cut to
specific shapes and sizes. Compared to screws or other mechanical connectors, 3M
tape 9712 provides reduced assembly time and a solid bond line with no gaps which
might result in EMI emission.

... Based upon a 90 degree peel sample, following ASTM D3330 test method. Aluminum foil (2 mil thick) was used as the flexible backing to the tape 9712. The substrates listed are all rigid metal plates. The 158°F (70°C) aged peel samples are indicative of the typical long term adhesion build expected at room temperature ...

... Once properly applied, low temperature holding power is generally satisfactory. • 3M tape 9712 can be removed by separating the parts using torque for rigid parts or peel for flexible ones. Remove the adhesive by pulling off as much as possible by hand. Residual adhesive may be removed by rubbing with your finger or by application of 3M™ ...

... EMI gaskets to electronic cabinets, such as server cabinets or disk drive array cabinets. These gaskets typically consist of conductive fabric over a foam core, and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. 3M tape 9712 may be cut into strips as narrow as 1/8 inch to provide adhesion for even the narrowest of gaskets. 3M tape 9712 may also be pre-applied to the gasket for reduced final cabinet assembly time. • ...
