3MXYZ-Axis Electrically Conductive Adhesive Transfer Tape
9719 for LSE Substrates and High Temperature Applications
Product Description
3M™ XYZ-Axis Electrically Conductive Adhesive Transfer Tape 9719 is a silicone adhesive isotropically conductive
pressure sensitive tape. Tape 9719 conducts electricity isotropically (X, Y, Z) and is suitable for low surface energy
EMI/RFI shield and EMI/RFI gasket attachment to metal surfaces. The double-sided Tape 9719 provides adhesion to low
surface energy substrates and performs at elevated temperatures for short periods (up to 400°F [204°C]). Tape 9719
utilizes conductive fibers to provide good electrical performance with improved handling characteristics.
Tape 9719 may be used with many types of foil laminate shields, to provide a customized shielding solution. This tape
may also be used to attach conductive fabric/foam core EMI gaskets to electronic cabinetry. Tape 9719 may be applied in
strips or die cut to specific shapes and sizes. Compared to screws or other mechanical connectors, Tape 9719 provides
reduced assembly time and excellent grounding between substrates for reduced EMI emissions.

Based upon a 90 degree peel sample, following ASTM D3330 test method. Aluminum foil (2 mil thick) was used as the flexible backing
to the Tape 9712. The substrates listed are all rigid metal plates. The 158°F (70°C) aged peel samples are indicative of the typical long
term adhesion build expected at room temperature. Test results will vary with test method set-up, sample size tested, assembly methods,
aging, substrate types, product lot to lot normal variation, etc.
Operative Temperature Range and Shelf Life
Short Term Exposure (minutes, hours) Long Term (days, weeks)
400°F (204°C) 300°F (149°C)**
Shelf Life of Tape in Roll Form: 12
months from date of manufacture when stored in original cartons at 70°F (21°C) and
50% relative humidity.
**For longer times or higher temperatures, please contact 3M to review your application details.
Application Techniques
To obtain maximum adhesion, the bonding surfaces must be clean and dry. Isopropyl alcohol or non-polar solvent such as
Heptane or Toluene can be used as a cleaning solvent.*
Bond strength depends on the amount of pressure used in the bonding process and mechanical properties of the substrate.
Adhesion can be optimized by using a roller or other means to reduce air entrapment and by using flat or conformable
substrates. Maximum adhesion is typically achieved after 24 hrs.
Electrical performance can be optimized by abrading the surface of the metal using 3M™ Scotch-Brite™ pads.
Recommended application temperature between 60°F - 100°F (15°C - 38°C).
Tape 9719 can be removed by separating the parts using torque for rigid parts or peel for flexible ones. Remove the
adhesive by pulling off as much as possible by hand. Residual adhesive may be removed by rubbing with your finger or
by application of 3M Packaging Tape over the residual adhesive followed by removal of the packaging tape. The surfaces
should be cleaned again before applying a new piece of Tape 9719. The force required to separate the parts and/or remove
the adhesive can be reduced by softening the adhesive by heating to 158°F - 212°F (70°C - 100°C) or using solvents such
as Heptane or Toluene.*
*Note: When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources and follow manufacturers precautions and directions for use.
General Information
3M™ XYZ-Axis Electrically Conductive Adhesive Transfer Tape 9719 provides good adhesion to low surface energy
and/or other metal surfaces and provides low electrical resistance that is stable over time. The pressure sensitive nature and
fiber reinforcement of Tape 9719 makes this product convenient to use. It is easy to release from the liners and provides
good handling properties.

Application Ideas
Attaching Foil Laminate EMI Shields
3M™ XYZ-Axis Electrically Conductive Tape Adhesive Transfer Tape 9719 is suitable for attaching foil laminate EMI
shields to electronic and electrical devices. These shields typically consist of either copper or aluminum foils laminated to
PVC. Tape 9719 provides good adhesion (initial and ultimate) as well as low electrical resistance. Tape 9719 may be
applied in strips or die cut to specific shapes and sizes. Compared to screws or other mechanical connector, Tape 9719
provides reduced assembly time and a solid bond line with no gaps for EMI emission.
Attaching EMI Gaskets
Tape 9719 may also be used for attaching silicone EMI gaskets to electronic cabinets, such as server cabinets or disk drive
array cabinets. These gaskets typically consist of LSE conductive fabric over a foam core, and come in a variety of shapes
and sizes. Tape 9719 may be cut into strips as narrow as 1/8 inch to provide adhesion for even the narrowest of gaskets. Tape
9719 may also be pre-applied to the gasket for reduced final cabinet assembly time. In many cases, Tape 9719 eliminates the
need to chemically prime the LSE gasket, which is otherwise difficult to bond.
Grounding Computer Antistatic and Glare Reduction Screens
Computer antistatic and glare reduction screens need to be electrically attached to the grounding mechanism. Tape 9719
penetrates through anti-smudge coatings over the conductive layer to make an electrical connection. Placing Tape 9719 along
the edges of such a screen provides many connection points to the antistatic coating resulting in good electrical performance.
Assembly of EMI Cages in Telecommunications Equipment
Tape 9719 is ideal for assembly of an EMI cage to a printed circuit board, often required in telecommunications equipment.
The EMI cages are typically constructed from aluminum frames and lids to protect components on the PCB from EMI/RFI.
The metal frame needs to be grounded to a wide copper trace etched around the perimeter of the components to be
protected. Tape 9719 is applied as a die cut in the shape of the etched perimeter trace, then the frame is bonded to the
perimeter trace. Tape 9719 provides for rapid assembly and grounding in one step. Compared with solder attach or liquid
conductive adhesive attachment of the EMI cage, Tape 9719 reduces assembly time and exposure to elevated temperatures.
