1120 Tape
Aluminum Foil with Conductive Adhesive
Data Sheet
Product Description
3M™1120 Tape consists of a 1-ounce deadsoft
aluminum foil backing and an electrically
conductive pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive.
• Deadsoft 1-ounce aluminum foil backing
• Conductive acrylic adhesive
• Supplied on a removable liner for easy handling
and diecutting
• Meets flame spread requirement of UL 510
Applications
3M 1120 tape is typically used for applications
requiring excellent electrical conductivity and is
designed for EMI/RFI shielding and cable wrap.
Shielding Effectiveness
Many factors determine the true shielding
effectiveness of a shielding tape, including type and
thickness of foil, adhesive type, intimacy of contact,
smoothness of application surface, strength and
frequency of the EMI signal, etc. However, using
standard tests and fixtures, it is possible to
determine a value for the attenuation.
