Description: CHO-FAB® tape is a corrosion resistant nickel-plated cloth coated with Chomerics’ highly conductive pressure-sensitive adhesive. CHO-FAB® tape is extremely strong and lightweight, and has excellent conformability/wrapability to enhance shielding performance and appearance. Use of corrosion resistant nickel-plated cloth and Chomerics’ superior metal-particle-filled conductive adhesive technology produces a tape used in a wide variety of EMI shielding and grounding applications.

Typical Applications: Provide a low impedance connection between a braided cable shield and the metal connector backshell in molded cables. An effective EMI shielded assembly can be achieved without soldering the tape to the braid or backshell; EMI radiation measurement troubleshooting, using CHO-FOIL tape to shield ventilation slots or seam gaps; Provide electrical continuity in seams of EMI shielded rooms and electronic enclosures; Supply electrical contact to surfaces that can’t be soldered to, such as conductive plastic or aluminum; EMI shield for cables by wrapping the tape around the cable. An overlap is recommended; ESD shielding; Provide corrosion-resistant ground contact points; Fabric tape available where weight and flexibility are important, such as for wrapping cables.
