Product Description JVCC CFL-5CA Copper Foil Tape is a 1 oz. rolled copper foil which provides excellent solderability and conformity. Used for RFI/EMI (electromagnetic interference/radio-frequency interference) shielding applications in the electrical/electronics industry (used to shield integrated circuit chips, cables and motors). CFL-5CA is coated with an acrylic adhesive which is uniformly dispersed with conductive spheres to provide a very low rate of electrical resistance through the tape (0.003 Ohms/square inch). Its conductive adhesive is ideal for printed circuit board modification, security-alarm circuit repairs, and prototype wiring-board layout and design. Also for cable wrapping to provide EMI/RFI shielding, seaming of EMI/RFI shielded rooms for electrical continuity, static charge draining and for surface contact to non-solderable materials (e.g. aluminum or plastics). Its aggressive acrylic adhesive system creates a superior bond. Annealed and non-tarnishing, bright copper color. Flammability: File #130121, UL 510, Section 4. Can also be used for decorative arts & crafts projects. NOTES: Sizes shipped will often be to the tape-industry standard metric equivalent, i.e. 24mm for each 1 inch of tape width. This product's actual size is 6.3mm wide. This tape is typically cut to width from log rolls so most sizes ship on a plain white core.

I was sceptical about the 'conductive adhesive', but...February 10, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My project used 1" x 40" strips of conductive, carbon-impregnated, vinyl material for pressure sensors. I found the resistance of these strips to be inconsistent. Also, the resistance was much higher than I needed. I ordered this tape with the hope that I could stick it on top of the strips and solve both my problems. I decided to try it because the tape claimed to have a conductive adhesive. I hoped that by simply taping the top side of a conductive vinyl strip, the copper would reduce the strips overall resistance and, hopefully, make the resistance consistent across the 100 strips used in my project. It would only work if the adhesive was conductive. It was! And it was very easy to apply.
