A service package is now available through SPO for adhesive back nickel tape (service P/N 1229335), it comes in a roll.
The purpose of this tape is to shield or suppress wiring harnesses and components from EMI/RFI disturbances that affect the electrical functions in the vehicle.
The primary use of this type of tape is for shielding or suppression of magnetic fields which are usually associated with high current devices: such as generator, ignition module, lighting and injectors.
NOTE:
This tape is equally effective in the shielding and suppression of radiated interferences.
APPLICATION:
The tape is generally wrapped around the suspect harness or component and electrically connected to a chassis ground by attaching a braided ground strap to the tape and then to the chassis.
