When your project demands reliable electrical conductivity and consistent thickness, standard metal tape simply falls short. Makers, electronics hobbyists, and workshop builders who need a dependable thin copper strip for grounding runs, RF shielding, or decorative metalwork will find this 0.2mm pure red copper foil strip delivers the dimensional accuracy and material integrity their work requires.
This copper foil strip is made from pure red copper (C11000 / T2 grade equivalent), offering excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. At 0.2mm (approximately 0.008 in) thick, it is available in widths of 20mm (~0.79 in), 30mm (~1.18 in), 40mm (~1.57 in), and 50mm (~1.97 in), with length options of 1m, 5m, and 10m to suit both small repairs and larger installations.
Typical use cases include EMI and RFI shielding in electronics enclosures, copper grounding straps for electrical panels and guitar builds, heat-spreading applications in DIY thermal management, and decorative inlay or craft metalwork where a thin, workable copper sheet is needed.

Select a width that matches or slightly exceeds the channel, slot, or surface you need to cover. For grounding straps on guitar builds or electronics, 20–30mm is typically sufficient. For broader EMI shielding panels or heat-spreading applications, 40–50mm provides better coverage without requiring multiple overlapping strips.
At 0.2mm thickness, this strip is designed for electrical, thermal, and light decorative applications rather than load-bearing structural use. It is soft-annealed, meaning it is flexible and formable. For applications requiring rigidity, consider pairing it with a backing substrate or using a thicker copper sheet.
Pure copper naturally oxidizes when exposed to air and moisture, developing a patina over time. This surface oxidation does not significantly affect electrical conductivity in most applications. For environments with high humidity or corrosive exposure, applying a clear lacquer or conductive coating after installation can help preserve the surface appearance.
Yes. The clean mill-finish copper surface is solderable using standard rosin-core or no-clean solder and a temperature-controlled iron. Lightly abrade or flux the surface before soldering if the strip has been stored for an extended period and shows surface oxidation.
No. This is a bare copper foil strip without any adhesive backing. It is a solid metal strip intended for mechanical fastening, soldering, or bonding with a separate conductive adhesive. If you need self-adhesive copper tape, that is a different product category.
For small enclosures or single-device shielding, the 1m option is usually sufficient. For workshop runs, multi-device builds, or projects where you want material on hand for future repairs, the 5m or 10m options offer better value per meter. Measure your total perimeter or coverage area before ordering to avoid running short mid-project.
Yes. The 20mm and 30mm widths are well-suited for lining guitar control cavities and pickup routes to reduce hum and interference. The soft temper makes it easy to press into corners and irregular shapes. Overlap seams by at least 5mm and solder the overlaps together to ensure a continuous conductive shield.
