CONDUCTIVE MASKING LAMINATE

摘要

A masking tape for EMI shielding applications comprising an adhesive layer, a metal foil layer adhered to the top of the adhesive layer, one or more adhesive strips running parallel to the edges of the tape and extending along the length of the foil. The one or more strips are preferably inset from the outer edges of the foil so as to form a stepped, indented or notch-like configuration. A mask layer is attachad to the top of the one or more strips. The mask alone or the mask and the one or more strips are designed to be removed after use. The tape is applied to a substrate such as a computer cabinet, the cabinet is then sprayed with a paint or finish coat and the mask is removed to reveal a conductive metal foil surface to which a conductive EMI shield can be mounted.
