The WX Series from ARC Technologies provides superior EMI absorption by combining proprietary, high-performance magnetic materials into a flexible, resilient elastomer. Precisely blending refined fillers in exacting ratios with polymer substrate materials creates a thin, flexible EMI-absorbing sheet that will attenuate from 100 MHz to 3 GHz. Surface resistance is >3 MΩ. WS … [Read more...]
Conductive Tabs Provide Low Impedance
Conductive grounding from Chomerics provide EMI protection by establishing low impedance ground paths between electrically conductive elements in a chassis or component. These stabs forestall interference from the surface currents that “excite” metal components and thus create “phantom” fields. The tabs can be used to provide the required grounding paths economically as … [Read more...]
