Abstract:
Alternating magnetic flux is directed through a high permeability flux guide to an area of overlapped electrically-conductive sheets between which a heat-curable adhesive material is positioned. Energy from the flux creates eddy currents in the overlapped sheets which dissipate power as heat, and the heat cures the adhesive to bond the sheets together. In addition to bonding, energy consumption is reduced and more uniformity in heating and curing of the adhesive material results from using the flux guide.

Abstract:
An EMI shielding tape adherable to a surface of a structure. The tape includes a backing layer, and an adhesive layer carried on at least one side of the backing layer. The adhesive layer has an inner face bonded the backing layer, and an opposite outer face which is bondable under pressure to the structure surface to adhere the tape thereto. The adhesive layer is formulated as an admixture of a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) composition and one or more electrically-conductive particulate fillers. When adhered to the structure surface, the tape is substantially cleanly releasable therefrom.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an electroconductive adhesive tape used for electrical and electronic products to bond or fix an element to a support while maintaining an electrical conductivity between the element and support. The electroconductive adhesive tape comprises a perforated synthetic film, two metal plating layers respectively formed on both surfaces of the synthetic resin film, and a conductive adhesive layer formed on one of the metal plating layers. Made to be very thin, the film has the advantage of being flexible and high in tensile strength in addition to showing excellent electrical conductivity. The metal plating layers are integratedly formed through the perforations of the synthetic resin film, maintaining excellent electrical conductivity. Thus, the electroconductive adhesive tape maintains a desired strength while exhibiting a high flexibility and a high bondability.

1,247,016. Electrically conductive adhesive tape. MINNESOTA MINING & MFG. CO. 21 Aug., 1968 [22 Aug., 1967], No. 40049/68. Heading B2E. [Also in Division H1] An electrically conductive adhesive tape comprises a flexible continuous electrically conductive backing embossed with many integral electrically conductive closely spaced projections of uniform height on at least one surface and a layer of adhesive covering said surface(s) of thickness at least as great as the height of the projections but not exceeding this by more than an amount that will readily undergo dielectric breakdown when a useful voltage is imposed between the tape and a conductive substrate to which the tape is applied. The backing may include at least one layer of highly conductive metal, such as aluminium or copper, the adhesive being disposed electrical contact therewith to form the adhesive surface(s) of the tape. The projections may comprise line-shaped projections and they may taper towards the top. The backing may consist of a self-supporting metal foil or a layer of metal coated on an organic polymeric film such as of polyethylene terephthalate. The adhesive may be pressure sensitive such as a 96:4 copolymer of isooctyl acrylate and acrylamide, a polyester of terephthalic acid, ethylene glycol and neopentyl glycol, or a mixture of a polyterpene polymer containing wood resin and natural rubber.
Abstract:
An anisotropic conducting adhesive is improved in conductivity without increasing the density of admixed conductive particles by inducing metallic fusion between the surfaces of the conducting particles and the surfaces being bonded. The metallic fusion may be promoted by physical/chemical interaction characteristic of certain materials at a compressed interface; by compression sufficient to deform the conductive particles in a manner that increases the mechanical contact area; by heating (with or without melting of a material), which may also serve to cure the adhesive matrix; or by acoustic vibration, e.g., ultrasonic vibration. The resulting metallic-fusion joint is stronger, as well as more conductive, than a joint in which the particles and surfaces are held in unfused mechanical contact.

Abstract:
An anisotropic conductive film includes an insulating adhesive layer and conductive particles disposed thereon. Arrangement axes of the conductive particles having a particle pitch extend in a widthwise direction of the film, and the axes are sequentially arranged with an axis pitch in a lengthwise direction of the film. The particle pitch, axis pitch of the axes, and an angle θ of the axes relative the widthwise direction of the film are determined according to external shapes of terminals so 3 to 40 conductive particles are present on each terminal when a terminal arrangement region of an electronic component is superimposed on the film so a lengthwise direction of each terminal is aligned with the widthwise direction of the film. By using the film, stable connection reliability is obtained and an excessive increase in the density of the conductive particles is suppressed even in the connection of fine pitches.
