5800 Shielding Foil

Many EMI problems can be solved easily by the use of conductive foils and conductive sheets. Some of the most commonly used materials are Mu-copper foil, reinforced Amucor foil and highly conductive textile.

All of theses materials can be produced with or without (conductive) self-adhesive and an optional insulation layer.

3284
Mu-ferro foil

Metal foil used for shielding against low magnetic frequency's.
For more information see our Mu-ferro page

3285
Tinned copper foil

Same as 3281 but than with a tin layer for corrosion protection and improved solderability.

3286
Aluminium foil

Special developed especialy for aluminium housings and frames to prevent galvanic corrosion.

Applications:

• Electrical connection between surfaces (sheets / foils)
• Die-cuts
• Shielding in housings
• Shielding cables
• Temporary shielding during tests

3287
Copper foil with paper insulation

Same as 3281 but with a layer of paper added to insulate the top layer of the foil.

Amucor foil

The reinforced Amucor foil is both cost effective and heat resistant. This thin foil can be applied easily to any surface or housing shape. We can also supply it in a die cut version. Thickness 0.04 mm.

Benefits

• Cost effective
• Follows the contours of your housing easily
• Flame retardant
• Extremely strong
• Corrosion free

Conductive textile

Conductive textile with self adhesive can be applied easily to plastic housings to cover non-standard forms and shapes. Laminates of metal foils with flame retardant Nomex or Valox are also available.

Our engineers can help you develop the right design to create overlaps, holes or connectors, cables and spuds. Thickness 0.10 mm

Benefits

• Follows the contours of your housing easily
• Flame retardant
• Extremely strong
• Corrosion free

4716
Amucor with PET in the middle

Amucor foil + PET film + Amucor foil. 2 layers of 11 micron thick Amucor (aluminium type) with 23 microns of polyester inside. This material is extremely strong.

Amucor with a reinforcement net

Amucor foil can also be produced strengthened with a reinforcement net. Because the material with the reinforcement net is so strong it can be produced in a enormous large width of 3100 mm. This material is designed for covering walls to protect against unwanted radio frequencies (RF).

Shielding performance

Shielding performance depends on the selected material. In the table below you will find the characteristics of Mu-copper foil, conductive textile, and Amucor foil.
