Abstract
A conductive double-sided tape includes a conductive, nonwoven adhesive layer including an adhesive material, a nonconductive, nonwoven substrate having a plurality of passageways, and a plurality of conductive particles penetrating through the nonconductive, nonwoven substrate and the adhesive material. The nonconductive, nonwoven substrate is embedded in the adhesive material. The conductive particles have a D99 particle size larger than a thickness of the nonconductive, nonwoven substrate and the adhesive material.
Claims17
A conductive, double-sided tape comprising:
- a conductive, nonwoven adhesive layer comprising:
- an adhesive material;
- a nonconductive, nonwoven substrate having a plurality of passageways, wherein the nonconductive, nonwoven substrate is embedded in the adhesive material;
- and
- a plurality of conductive particles penetrating through the nonconductive, nonwoven substrate and the adhesive material, wherein the conductive particles have a D99 particle size larger than a thickness of the nonconductive, nonwoven substrate
- wherein the conductive, double-sided tape exhibits only z-axis conductivity.
A conductive, single-sided tape comprising:
- an adhesive material;
- a nonconductive, nonwoven substrate embedded within the adhesive material;
- a plurality of conductive particles penetrating through the adhesive material and the nonwoven substrate, wherein the conductive particles have a D99 particle size larger than a thickness of the nonwoven substrate;
- and
- a metal layer positioned adjacent the nonwoven substrate
- wherein the conductive, single-sided tape exhibits only z-axis conductivity.
