EMI Shielding Tape
When it comes to EMI shielding, tape is one of the best lines of defense. Before purchase EMI shielding tape, there are several things to consider. You will want to get the right size tape for your device. Additionally, the tape you get needs to be robust enough to ensure your device will not emit dangerous electromagnetic interference (EMI).
The first thing to consider when purchasing EMI shielding tape is size. Most tapes are available in different widths. Make sure that the tape can cover the entire length of your device.
The next thing to consider before you make your purchase is material. EMI shielding tape is made from several different materials including Aluminum, nickel-plated fabric, embossed copper, copper, tinned copper, and more. The type of metal you pick will depend on the kind of application you will be using. For example, tinned-copper tape works well with applications where one wants to avoid chromate conversion coating before painting. This particular tape can withstand heat exposure up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
The last thing to consider when purchasing EMI shielding tape is the style. Shielding tapes can come in foil, fabric, and foil with a peel-off mask. The peel-off mask is available in different materials including polyester.
As always before making any purchase regarding EMI, it is important to familiarize yourself with the terminology. Understanding items such as EMI shielding tape and EMI gasket will help you make the right purchases for your needs.
