Electrically Conductive Tapes

What is Electrically Conductive Tapes?

Conductive particles or metallized fibers—such as silver, nickel, copper, or graphite—are embedded in the polymer matrix of the tape. These form conductive pathways that allow small currents (typically in the milliamp range) to flow between substrates. Variations in filler type and structure directly affect resistivity and performance of the tape.

Unlike soldering or mechanical clips, conductive tapes bond reliably at low temperatures—ideal for heat-sensitive components. Their flexible structure absorbs vibration and stress better than rigid connections, enhancing durability. They also allow clean, slim design without screws or clips, and can be easily die-cut or applied by hand or machine for fast assembly.
