1345 Tape Embossed Tin-Plated Copper Foil Data Sheet Product Description Applications 3M 1345 Tape is typically used for applications 3M 1345 Tape consists of an embossed 1-ounce requiring excellent electrical conductivity from the deadsoft tin-plated copper foil backing and an application substrate through the adhesive to the foil aggressive pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive. The backing. Common uses include grounding and EMI edges of the embossed pattern pressed into the foil shielding in equipment, components, shielded rooms, cut through the adhesive layer to establish reliable etc. The tin plating on the copper foil backing metal-to-metal contact between the backing and the facilitates soldering and improves resistance to application substrate. oxidation and discoloration. Embossed deadsoft 1-ounce tin-plated copper foil backing Shielding Effectiveness Conductivity through the adhesive Supplied on a removable liner for easy handling and Many factors determine the true shielding diecutting effectiveness of a shielding tape, including type and thickness of foil, adhesive type, intimacy of contact, Like all 3M shielding tapes, 3M 1345 is available in smoothness of application surface, strength and standard and custom widths and lengths. Standard frequency of the EMI signal, etc. However, using length is 18 yards. standard tests and fixtures, it is possible to determine a value for the attenuation. Widths from 1/4 to 23 For 3M 1345 Tape, typical shielding effectiveness Longer lengths up to several times normal length, (far field) is in the range of 75dB to 95dB (30 MHz dependent upon width. Check with Customer to 1 GHz). Service. Properties Typical Values 1 Backing thickness 1.4 mil (0,04mm) Total thickness (backing plus adhesive) 4.0 mil (.101mm) 1 Breaking strength 25 lb./in (44 N/10mm) 1 Adhesion to steel 45 oz/in (4.9 N/10mm) 2 Electrical resistance through adhesive 0.001 ohm 3 Flame retardancy Pass * Footnote: 1. Test method ASTM D 1000 2 2 2. MIL-STD-202 Method 307 maintained at 5 psi (3,4 N/cm ) measured over 1 in surface area. The edges of the embossing pattern in the foil backing penetrate through the nonconductive adhesive to make metal-to-metal contact with the application substrate. 3. UL-recognized for flame retardancy per UL 510, Product Category 0ANZ2, File E17385.Important Notice If any goods supplied or processed by or on behalf of 3M prove on Technical information provided by 3M is based on experience and/or tests inspection to be defective in material or workmanship, 3M will (at its believed to be reliable, but their accuracy is not guaranteed and the results may option) replace the same or refund to the Buyer the price paid for the not be relevant to every users application.
