1182 Tape
Copper Foil Conductive Adhesive on Both
Sides
Data Sheet
Product Description
3M 1182 Tape consists of a 1-ounce deadsof t
copper foil backing tha t i s coated on both si des
with a unique electrically conductive pressur e sensitive acryli c adhesive.
• Deadsoft 1-ounce copper foil backing
• Conductive acrylic adhesi ve on both side s
• Supplied with removable liner on both sides for
easy handling and diec utti ng
Like all 3M shielding tapes, 3M 1182 is available
in standard and custom widths and lengths.
Standard length is 18 yards.
• Widths from 1/4” to 23”
• Longer lengths up to several times normal
length, dependent upon width. Check with
Customer Service.
Applications
3M 1182 is typically used to bond two surface s
together, both electrically and physically. An
example would be adheri ng a conduc ti ve gasket
to a conductive surfa ce as part of the EMI
shielding solution for an electronic enclosure.
Conductivity
Since 3M 1182 double-sided copper tape would
typically be used as an electrical path between
two surfaces, its most important feature is its
conductivi ty. Highly conductive parti cles in the
acrylic adhesive prov i de a multitude of elec tr i ca l
paths between the applica ti on substrate and the
surface of the copper foil on each side. The
resistance of the c onductive path through the
adhesive (measured over a 1-in
measure s only a fe w m ill iohms.
