3M™ Electrically Conductive Cushioning Gasket Tape
ECG-7033 / ECG-7053 / ECG-7073
Product Description
3M™ Electrically Conductive Cushioning Gasket Tapes ECG-7033 / ECG-7053 / ECG-7073 are electrically conductive
compressible gasket tapes in a single coated tapes format with good electrical conductivity and excellent cushion/ recovery
properties. The 3M ECG-7033 / ECG-7053 / ECG-7073 offer excellent gap filling performance while maintaining good
electrical grounding potential. These products offer conductivity through the thickness (Z-axis) and in the plane of the
adhesive (X-Y planes) and are ideal for EMI/EMC gasket tape applications between common substrates, such as metal
surfaces (including metal plated substrates). These products consist of a soft and conductive polymeric foam gasket and
thin electrically conductive adhesive tapes laminated on mesh fabric side (liner side) of the cushion gasket. The conductive
adhesive is one of high performance 3M™ Electrically Conductive Adhesive Transfer Tape (ECATT).
The 3M ECG-7033 / ECG-7053 / ECG-7073 Tapes are useful for EMI/ RFI shielding and grounding in electronics and
electrical devices. The 3M ECG-7033 / ECG-7053 / ECG-7073 may be applied in strips or die cut to specific shapes and
sizes. Compared to screws or other mechanical connectors and grounding means, the 3M ECG-7033 / ECG-7053 / ECG7073 products can provide for reduced assembly time and excellent conformability to the space between substrates,
excellent bond line gap filling which will allow for enhanced EMI shielding and reduced EMI emissions. The 3M ECG
products are EMI & grounding gaskets and provide for excellent grounding and EMI shielding. The 3M ECG products are
of an “open cell” design and thus their “environmental” gasket performance will be limited and must be tested by an end
user to see if it meets their environmental sealing requirements (dust, moisture, water, etc.). The 3M ECG products could
be used in conjunction with products that are non-conductive and provide for the “Environmental Sealing” if desired (ex:
3M™ VHB™ Tapes).
3M ECG-7033 / ECG-7053 / ECG-7073 are supplied in a 3M logo printed paper liner configuration for easy handling
and die-cutting properties. 3M ECG-7033 / ECG-7053 / ECG-7073 are available in standard size and custom sizes
(widths and lengths).
