In the realm of electrical installations, ensuring proper shielding is crucial for both performance and safety.
3M 24 Electrical Shielding Tape offers a reliable solution, combining durability with flexibility to meet various shielding requirements.
This all metal, flat braided tape is stable at elevated temperatures, exhibits good oil, corrosion and fire resistance and is unaffected by solvents, UV, ozone and moisture.
Compatible with all high voltage splicing and termination materials and elongates easily to conform to inclined or uneven surfaces.
Key Features of 3M 24 Electrical Shielding Tape
- Tinned Copper Construction: Made from an open-weave knit of two No. 36 AWG tinned copper wires, this tape ensures excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance.
- High Conformability: The open-weave design allows the tape to stretch and conform to irregular surfaces, ensuring a tight and secure wrap without the need for soldering.
- Temperature Stability: Capable of withstanding temperatures ranging from 0°C to 105°C, it remains stable under various environmental conditions.
- Chemical and UV Resistance: Unaffected by solvents, moisture, ozone, and ultraviolet light, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Common Applications
- Cable Joint Shielding: Provides effective shielding for cable joints on shielded power cables, maintaining signal integrity and reducing electromagnetic interference.
- Stress Cone Conductive Layer: Used in power cable terminations to create the conductive portion of the stress cone, ensuring proper electrical performance.
- Connector Smoothing in Oil-Filled Cables: Helps smooth connector areas in oil-filled cables, enhancing the overall reliability of the installation.
