3M 9703 Electrically Conductive Adhesive Transfer Tape is a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) transfer tape with anisotropic electrical conductivity. The PSA matrix is filled with conductive particles which allow interconnection between substrates through the adhesive thickness (the “Z-axis”) but are spaced far enough apart for the product to be electrically insulating in the plane of the adhesive. The PSA tack properties and lack of any thermal curing make 3M 9703 easy to use in assembly operations.

3M 9703 electrically connects and mechanically bonds medium pitch flexible circuits with other flexible circuits (flex), rigid printed circuit boards (PCB) or LCD screens. 3M 9703 is electrically conductive and offers good adhesion to common PCB substrates such as copper, gold, FR-4 epoxy, DuPont™ Kapton™ polyimide and polyester films. Stable electrical performance in any flexible circuit interconnection application may require mechanical reinforcement (clamping).

3M 9703 also electrically connects and mechanically bonds EMI/RFI shield and gaskets to metal frames and enclosures. The low contact resistance and tape construction result in good EMI performance.

3M 9703 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.
