3M™ XYZ Axis Electrically Conductive, Double Sided Tape, 9712 and 9713

3M™ XYZ Axis Electrically Conductive, Double Sided Tape, 9712 and 9713
This highly conductive double sided tape with excellent adhesion and conductivity properties has been initially developed for bonding EMI/RF shields.  Advantages of this new tape are:

• Improved adhesion - creates a solid bond and allows attachment of dissimilar materials
• Easy handling - more solid tape, conductive fibers reinforced and easier to remove
• High conductivity - creates solid electrical connections

Due to the high electrical conductivity and excellent bonding properties these tapes are ideally suited for bonding conductive samples on SEM specimen mounts or directly on SEM specimen holders. They can be used under clean room conditions. The conductive nickel fibers extend above the adhesive ensuring a solid electrical connection between parts. It is less suitable for mounting small or powder like specimen due to the fibers in the adhesive and the topographic surface. Type 9713 has less resistance than Type 9712, see chart below:

 

Resistance Comparison Between Type 9712 and Type 9713
Substrate Tested	Aluminum/ Aluminum	Aluminum/ Stainless Steel	Copper/ Aluminum	Copper/ Copper
Type 9712	<24Ω	<21.5Ω	<16Ω	<.66Ω
Type 9713	<2.5Ω	<2.0Ω	<1.0Ω	<0.5Ω
Based upon four wire (Kelvin probe) resistance measurements made with crossed pieces of Foil/Type 9712 or 9713/Rigid plate construction using a 1.0" x 1.0" square piece of 3M tape Type 9712 or 9713. The rigid metal surface was prepared with a Scotch-Brite™ pad to roughen the surface and cleaned with isopropyl alcohol.

XYZ highly conductive tape comes on a 76mm (3") plastic core and sizes for Type 9712 are 6.35mm, 12.7mm and 25mm W x 32.9m L (1/4", 1/2" and 1" x 36 yd) and for Type 9713 is 12.7mm, 25mm, and 100mm W x 32.9m L (1/2", 1", and 4" x 36 yd), .61m W x 98.6m L (24" x 108 yd), .61m W x 32.9m L (24" x 36 yd).

Thickness: 0.127mm (5 mil). The tape adhesive can be removed relatively easily by pulling off, rubbing or by application of packaging tape over the residual adhesive. Adhesive can be dissolved in acetone.
