Solutions That Boost Productivity, Help Protect Components, and Enable PCB Design Flexibility

Modern printed circuit board (PCB) and flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) manufacturing demands reliable EMI control while withstanding high-temperature processing and protecting sensitive components. By pairing 3M electrically conductive pressure-sensitive adhesives with 3M polyimide film tapes, manufacturers can address electrical performance and thermal durability in a single, complementary solution. Conductive pressure-sensitive adhesives help reduce electromagnetic interference through effective grounding and shielding, while polyimide film tapes provide high-temperature resistance for soldering, insulation, surface masking, and component protection. Together, these solutions support PCB design flexibility, help simplify cleanup, and can help customers enhance productivity across both manual and automated manufacturing processes in demanding electronics applications.

3M electrically conductive adhesive transfer tapes 9703 and 9713 are designed for EMI shielding and grounding in electronic assemblies. Both use pressure-sensitive adhesives for ease of application and can be converted into custom shapes. 3M tape 9703 provides Z-axis-only conductivity with low outgassing for applications requiring tight interconnect control without lateral shorts, especially in aerospace and defense. Tape 9713 offers isotropic XYZ-axis conductivity with a nickel-plated carbon-fiber scrim, providing balanced adhesion and conductivity for larger contact areas and broad electronics applications.

3M electrically conductive single-sided tapes, series 1050TC and 5113SFT, are designed for grounding, EMI shielding, and reliable electrical performance in advanced electronic assemblies. Both provide isotropic XYZ-axis conductivity, strong adhesion, and stable long-term performance, supporting high signal integrity and compatibility with compact designs. 3M tape 1050TC uses a copper-foil construction for low-resistance and thin-profile applications, while 3M tape 5113SFT uses a conductive fabric carrier for enhanced conformability, long shelf life, and reliable grounding across metals and plastics.

3M high-temperature polyimide film tapes, 5413 and 5419, are designed for demanding electronic manufacturing environments. Both tapes use silicone adhesive technology, maintain stability under extreme heat, and help reduce adhesive residue for cleaner processes. Tape 5413 provides robust chemical resistance, dimensional stability, and reliable performance for general high-temperature masking and protection. Tape 5419 adds proprietary low-static technology to help protect sensitive electronics during unwind and removal, offering flame-retardant, low-outgassing performance that is ideal for static-critical applications. Both products are halogen-free.

3M Bumpon Resilient Rollstock SJ5816, SJ5632, and SJ5832 are made of a rubber bumper material and designed for use as feet, stops, and spacers, offering reliable protection and performance in a versatile rollstock format for die cutting across various thickness needs.

*"Halogen-free" is defined as having 900 ppm bromine max, 900 ppm chlorine max, and 1,500 ppm total bromine and chlorine max, per IEC 61249-2-21. **EU RoHS This product does not exceed the maximum concentration values (MCVs) set under EU Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS recast/RoHS 2), as stated in Annex II to that directive. This means that each of the homogenous materials within this product does not exceed the following MCVs: (a) 0.1% (by weight) for lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, or polybrominated diphenyl ethers; and (b) 0.01% (by weight) for cadmium.
