Technical Data July 2011 3M™ Electrically Conductive Acrylic Pad (eCAP) 7850 Product Description 3M™ Electrically Conductive Acrylic Pad (eCAP) represents a breakthrough in electrically conductive PSA tape and conductive gasket technology. 3M™ Electrically Conductive Acrylic Pad 7850, a double sided tape, consists of a high performance 3M adhesive loaded with conductive fillers and is ideal for EMI/RFI shield and EMI/RFI gasket to metal surfaces. The PSA matrix is filled with carbon fillers which allow thermal and electrical interconnection between substrates through the adhesive thickness (the “Z-axis”) and also provides electrically conducting in the plane of the adhesive (“X-Y Axis”). 3M eCAP 7850 is ideal for electrical and thermal bonding and ESD grounding of electronic and electrical devices. 3M eCAP 7850 can be applied as die cut parts or in roll form and has good adhesion to common EMI/RFI substrates such as aluminum, stainless steel, and smooth gasket materials. 3M eCAP 7850 also electrically connects and mechanically bond EMI/RFI shield and gasket to metal frames and enclosures. The low contact resistance and tape construction result in good EMI performance. Proprietary Technology 3M™ Electrically Conductive Acrylic Pad 7850 is a self-stick EMI gasket pad or tape which provides good electrical conductivity for EMI shielding and ESD grounding. Made with a proprietary technology, the pad achieves a unique filler distribution in three dimensional structure throughout the adhesive matrix. This makes the tape an excellent choice for use near electronic components and assemblies. The tape is supplied on 50 meter rolls in width 600 mm.
