DT17A Double-Sided Nickel/Copper
Fabric Tape
NI/CU DOUBLE-SIDED CONDUCTIVE FABRIC TAPE
Laird Technologies’ DT17A double-sided conductive fabric tape is constructed of nickel/copper
metallized fabric with conductive pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA) on both sides. This reliable
tape provides XYZ-axis electrical conductivity, EMI shielding performance, a well-balanced design in
adhesion, flame retardant, and thermal conductivity.
DT17A is RoHS compliant and halogen free. It’s good for EMI/RFI shielding to electronic devices.
FEATURES
• RoHS compliant
• Halogen-free per IEC-61249-2-21 standard
• Shielding effectiveness of >70 dB across
a wide spectrum of frequencies

APPLICATION TECHNIQUES
1. Bond strength is dependent upon the amount of adhesive-to-surface contact developed.
Firm application pressure develops better adhesive contact & thus improves bond strength.
2. To obtain optimum adhesion, the bonding surfaces must be clean, dry and well unified.
A typical surface cleaning solvent is isopropyl alcohol. Use proper safety precautions for
handling solvents.
3. Ideal tape application temperature range is 21°C to 38°C. Initial tape application to surfaces
at temperatures below 10°C is not recommended because the adhesive becomes too firm to
adhere readily. However, once properly applied, low temperature holding is generally satisfactory.
