This Conductive Nylon tape goes great with our other interesting materials, such as copper tape, ITO glass or plastic, conductive inks, etc. We found that the metallic nylon fabric has some great improvements over plain copper tape.
First of all it doesn’t crack when bent or twisted! So you can make all sorts of odd shapes and paths without worrying about broken traces. It’s also more flexible so you can put it on a flexible material.
It comes with conductive glue on the opposite side, so you can tape it directly to capacitive pads.
It’s high conductivity, only a few ohms per foot. It’s not quite as conductive as pure copper tape, but you can definitely power small components.
But, you cannot solder to it like you can with pure copper tape. You can sew it though, since it’s fabric.
Each order comes with a strip of 5mm wide x 10 meter long tape. It’s long enough you can use it for a bunch of projects. Just cut out the size you need and save the rest.
First up, the 5mm!

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
