XYZ-Axis Electrically Conductive Tape
A 3.0 mil. isotropically conductive tape that conducts through the thickness and in the plane of the adhesive ideal for EMI/ RFI shield and EMI/ RFI gasket attachment to metal surfaces. 9713 tape is an innovative combination of established adhesive technology with state-of-the-art conductive technology. It also has all the qualities required for reliable and effective attachment of EMI/ RFI shields and gaskets to electronic devices. To apply, wiping action creates good electrical contact. The spring-loaded tension maintains electrical contact and reinforcement gives the tape excellent handling characteristics. See 3M data sheet for Contact Resistance chart.

Data provided by Budnick Converting, Inc.
The physical properties listed are typical values and are not to be considered as specifications. Our suggestions for use are based on tests we believe to be reliable. However, the purchaser must carry out their own tests to determine the suitability of the product for their internal use. Information is given in good faith, but without warranty.
It is essential, as with all pressure-sensitive tapes, that the surface to which the tape is applied be clean, dry and free of grease and oil.
Shelf life from date of manufacture is based on the product being stored at 70°F(21°C) / 50% relative humidity out of direct sunlight.
Specification compliance is dynamic and should only be used as a general guide. Always confirm that the tape you are interested in currently complies with all specification requirements. Please verify that the product number that you select is available in the proper size and color to meet your specification.
