3M™ Electrically Conductive Double-Sided Tape 5113DFTSeries
Product Description
3M™ Electrically Conductive Double-Sided Tape 5113DFT Series is a family of XYZ-axis electrically conductive
pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) tapes. The tape consists of a conductive matrix carrier and a conductive PSA that is
electrically conductive and is for PSA attachment to the desired grounding surfaces. The polyolefin PSA offers highadhesion, long shelf life and good grounding performance to many surface types. These tapes are useful for grounding,
PSA attachment and EMI shielding designs.

Key Features••••XYZ-axis conductivity through the adhesiveExcellent EMI shielding in bond line gap
Excellent electrical contact to small size areas
Long shelf-life and stable in humid environments

Applications••

Typically used for applications requiring excellent electrical conductivity from the application substrate throughthe adhesive to a second substrate
Grounding and EMI shielding in equipment and components

Application Techniques
Note:Carefully read and follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use when working with solvents.
Tape application below 10°C (50°F) is not suggested. Once properly applied, low temperature holding power isgenerally satisfactory.

The bond strength of 3M™ Electrically Conductive Double-Sided Tape 5113DFT Series depends on the amount ofadhesive-to-surface contact developed during application and substrate type and surface conditions.
1. Firm application pressure helps develop better wet-out and adhesive contact and may lead to improved bondstrength as well as electrical conductivity. Pressure must be applied to the bond area after assembly to ensuresufficient wet-out of the adhesive to the substrates and to engage the conductive polyolefin adhesive fillers
with the substrates to make electrical connection. Mechanical pressure (roller, metal bar) or finger pressure at
5-15 psi. (Optimally the application conditions are determined via a set of Design of experiments (DOE) using a
range of application pressure, dwell time and temperatures (suggested initial range might include 5-15 psi, 2-5seconds, 21°C-38°C).
2. Heat may be applied simultaneously with pressure to improve wetting, final bond strength and electricalconductivity. Suggested temperature range to evaluate is in the 38°C-60°C range. 3.
3. To obtain optimum adhesion, the bonding surfaces must be clean, dry, and well unified. Some typical surface
cleaning solvents are isopropyl alcohol or heptane.

3M Test Method ETM-7: XY-Axis Electrical Resistance through Adhesive**
Place a strip of the single (double) side conductive tape in 10 mm x 40 mm with adhesive side down between theelectrodes on 3M ETM-7 testing board. After initial hand lamination to provide for a 10 mm x 10 mm contact area
between the tape and electrodes, apply a 2kg rubber roller across the tape one time. Application method simulates atypical manufacturing process that might be used to apply the tapes to a surface. After 20 minutes of dwell time, theDC resistance between the electrodes is measured with a micro-ohm meter. The resistance results are recorded after
5 ~ 30 seconds for initial resistance.

3M Test Method ETM-12: Z-Axis Electrical Resistance through Adhesive**
Place conductive tape pieces in 10 mm x 10 mm on the center of the electrodes on 3M ETM-7 testing board. Thenplace 3M ETM-12 testing board with the gold-plated side down on the tapes between electrodes. After initial handlamination to provide for a 10 mm x 10 mm contact area between the tapes and electrodes, apply 2kg rubber roller
across the tape one time. Application method simulates a typical manufacturing process that might be used to apply thetapes to a surface. After 20 minutes of dwell time, the DC resistance between the electrodes is measured with a microohm meter. The resistance results are recorded after 5 ~ 30 seconds for initial resistance.
