New Developments in Shielding Materials

Advances in electronic equipment are occurring at a rapid pace. The wireless revolution, increasing power levels in computers and servers, higher frequency systems, decreasing size of cell phones, to name a few. To keep pace with the EMI shielding needs of these devices a wide range of new and improved products have been developed over the past few years and many more are on the drawing boards. Just about every class of shielding product has seen noteworthy changes. The uses, properties, and advantages of these new materials and advanced EMI shielding product designs was described, including: ldrhigh performance, dent resistant vent panels ldrhigh aspect ratio form in place (FiP) ldr ultra soft sculpted fabric over foam (FOF) ldr conductive foam (CF) ldr metal-mold in place (MIP) combination gaskets.
