hing EMI Gaskets
3M™ XYZ-Axis Electrically Conductive Tape 9712 may also be used for attaching
EMI gaskets to electronic cabinets, such as server cabinets or disk driv e 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 e v en the narrowest of gaskets. 3M tape
9712 may also be pre-applied to the gasket for reduced final cabinet assembly time.

ounding Computer Antistatic and Glare Reduction Screens
Computer antistatic and glare reduction screens need to be electrically attached to
the grounding mechanism. 3M tape 9712 penetrates through anti-smudge coatings
over the conductive layer to make an electrical connection. Placing 3M tape 9712
along the edges of such a screen provides many connection points to the antistatic
coating resulting in good electrical performance.
