3M™ Copper Foil Tape 1126  
with Electrically Conductive Acrylic Adhesive  
Data Sheet  
June 2021  
Product Description  
3M™ Copper Foil Tape 1126 is a 2.6-mil (0.066 mm
)
thick tape composed of a 1.4-mil  
(0.036 mm) flat copper foil backing coated on one side with a non-corrosive, electrically  
conductive acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive supplied on a removeable liner.  
Commonly used for EMI/RFI shielding applications in the electronics industry and  
for static charge draining, seaming shielded rooms, cable wrapping and surface contact to  
non-solderable materials  
Can be die-cut, is solderable and offers a multitude of uses in electrical design and test  
laboratories for prototyping, design and troubleshooting  
Adhesive requires no moisture, solvents, heat or other manner of preparation to affect  
application  
Flame Retardant per UL-510A Standard
