Printed circuit board shielded enclosures with specific frequency tuning
PCB SHIELDED ENCLOSURES WITH RF ABSORBERS

Shielded enclosures for RF radiations from PCB components stop RF energy right at the source, eliminating re-radiation and interference with other nearby components as well as reducing the number of other shielding expenditures such as filters, gaskets and RF hardening of the equipment exterior structure.

The addition of a frequency-tuned absorber membrane layer adds unprecedented performance, assimilating radiated energy without relying on repeated reflections from the interior surfaces of the shield, and without problems of harmonic resonance. Refer to sketches at left.

The latter Absorber Pad method deals with the unwanted RF energy right at the source and prevents re-radiation and reflection of the signals so that neighboring components are unaffected; also, second, third and fourth order harmonics are nullified or greatly minimized.

MODULAR FENCE AND COVER DESIGN

The versatile shield design includes a solderable fence and tight-fitting cover assembly of copper alloy 770 (C77000), a tough solder-compatible material which does not require plating nor has corrosion prone bare edges. The removable cover provides convenient access to circuitry; and is very cost-effective due to the use of universal multi-use manufacturing tooling.

CUSTOM TUNING TO THE EXACT FREQUENCY

Each enclosure shield size can be combined with frequency-specific absorber material bonded to the cover interior for exacting remediation of otherwise errant frequency emanations - a selection of six EMC absorbers effective from 50 MHz to 1 GHz along with an extra wideband version effective from 40 MHz to 5 GHz; and, ten Microwave versions effective up to 116 GHz.

ADHESIVE MOUNT COVER DESIGN OPTION - No Soldering

A very easily installed option, all of our PCB Shields are available with adhesive mounting pads. Just peel away the protective transfer tape to install - the bonding strength is initially very tenacious and continuously cures for 24 hours. Eliminates circuit changes and costly reconfigurations.

MICROWAVE TYPE:
UP TO 116 GHz


The MA series is a high frequency microwave noise absorber in a range of formulations addressing 2.0GHz to 116GHz radiations from electronic components. Click here to view "Typical Absorption Rate by Frequency" charts.
MICROWAVE TYPE PCB SHIELD ENCLOSURES
UP TO 116 GHz


The microwave series is available in three standard sizes; each can be combined with an absorber membrane bonded to the lid. There are ten types of frequency-sensitive absorber materials with effectiveness up to 116 GHz. The multi-layered absorbers of screened matrixes are tuned for discrete impedance matching to absorb microwaves frowm a wide range of angles.
