Meets flame retardant requirements of UL510, Product Category
RoHS
2011/65/EU
"RoHS 2011/65/EU" means that the product or part does not contain any of the substances in excess of the maximum
concentration values (“MCVs”) in EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The MCVs are by weight in homogeneous materials. This
information represents 3M's knowledge and belief, which may be based in whole or in part on information provided by third
party suppliers to 3M.
Applications 3M Copper Foil Tape 1126 is typically used as an EMI/RFI shielding tape for
applications in the electronics industry such as static charge draining, seaming
shielded rooms, cable wrapping and surface contact to non-solderable materials.
Shielding
Effectiveness
Many factors determine true shielding effectiveness of a shielding tape, including
type and thickness of foil, adhesive type, intimacy of contact, smoothness of
application surface, frequency of the EMI signal, etc. Typical shielding
effectiveness for 1126 Tape is >85dB, 1MHz to 2 GHz, ASTM-4935 test method..
Typical Properties Not for specifications. Values are typical, not to be considered minimum or maximum.
