3M 1182 X 6" RF EMI Shielding Tape Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 1182 X 6" is an RF EMI shielding tape featuring copper foil construction with double-sided conductive adhesive. This product is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives for ongoing procurement and application requirements. The tape provides electromagnetic interference shielding across a temperature range of -40°C to 130°C with dimensions of 6.000" (152.40mm) width, 54.000' (16.50m) length, and 0.004" (0.09mm) thickness.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 3M 1182 X 6" are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalency:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: 3M (maintains OEM consistency)
• Product Type: Shielding Tape (functional category)
• Width: 6.000" (152.40mm) (dimensional compatibility)
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 130°C (thermal envelope)
• Material Base: Copper foil construction (conductive material)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (storage compatibility)

Identified Substitutes:

1. 3M 1183 X 6" – Active product with tin-plated copper foil, single-sided conductive adhesive, reduced thickness (0.003"), and equivalent width and operating temperature range.

2. 3M 6-6-1182 – Active product with identical copper foil material and double-sided conductive adhesive, matching thickness (0.004"), equivalent width, and operating temperature range. Length differs at 18.000' (5.50m) versus 54.000' (16.50m).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

3M 1183 X 6" is the primary active substitute. This part maintains identical width and length specifications with equivalent operating temperature range. The material transition from copper foil to tin-plated copper foil provides enhanced corrosion resistance. The reduction in thickness from 0.004" to 0.003" represents a minor dimensional change. The shift from double-sided to single-sided conductive adhesive constitutes the primary functional difference and must be evaluated against application requirements. This part carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current regulatory standards.

3M 6-6-1182 is a secondary substitute for applications where double-sided conductive adhesive and identical thickness are required. This part maintains the original material specification and adhesive configuration. The length specification of 18.000' (5.50m) represents a significant reduction from the original 54.000' (16.50m) and must be considered for total material requirements. This part carries ROHS3 compliance certification.

Selection between substitutes depends on adhesive configuration requirements (single-sided versus double-sided) and total length requirements per application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 3M 1183 X 6" replace 3M 1182 X 6" in all applications?

A: The 1183 X 6" maintains width, length, and operating temperature specifications. The primary differences are material composition (tin-plated copper foil versus copper foil) and adhesive configuration (single-sided versus double-sided). Applications requiring double-sided adhesive contact must evaluate the single-sided configuration of the 1183 X 6" for compatibility.

Q: What is the impact of thickness reduction from 0.004" to 0.003" in the 1183 X 6"?

A: The 1183 X 6" thickness of 0.003" (0.07mm) represents a 25% reduction from the original 0.004" (0.09mm). This dimensional change may affect mechanical fit in constrained applications and should be verified against specific design requirements.

Q: Is 3M 6-6-1182 suitable for applications requiring the full 54.000' length?

A: The 6-6-1182 provides only 18.000' (5.50m) length compared to the original 54.000' (16.50m). Multiple units would be required to achieve equivalent total length. This part maintains double-sided conductive adhesive and identical thickness specifications.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute parts?

A: Both active substitutes (1183 X 6" and 6-6-1182) carry ROHS3 compliance certification. Both maintain REACH Unaffected status or equivalent regulatory standing. The original 1182 X 6" does not specify RoHS status due to its obsolete classification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The original 1182 X 6" packaging is listed as "-" (unspecified). The 1183 X 6" is packaged in boxes. The 6-6-1182 is packaged in bulk. Packaging configuration may affect inventory management and application workflow.
