Würth Elektronik Launches Hybrid EMI Absorber Sheet with an Adhesive Layer

Würth Elektronik launches its hybrid WE-EMIP EMI absorber sheet, a convenient solution for preventing electromagnetic interference. The integrated adhesive layer makes the patch easy to stick on. It offers high attenuation exceeding 40 dB over a wide frequency range. Both isolated and non-isolated versions are available. The non-isolated version allows the option of earthing.

The combination of absorber and metal layer enables a new level of board-level shielding. Stray fields are absorbed whereby nearly the same performance as with the help of shielding cabinets is achieved. Thanks to the metal layer the EMI Patch has a good thermal conductivity and thus helps to dissipate heat. The aluminum layer is able to spread the heat through its whole surface, being more effective in thermal management than a common absorber sheet.

The hybrid absorber sheet consisting of EMI absorber material and aluminum layer is now available in the following sizes: as a sheet 105 x 74 mm, 297 x 210 mm or as a roll 15 m x 50 mm. Würth Elektronik offers a product to get EMC problems associated with radiated emission under control in an easy way and to protect sensitive components. The patch offers up to 12 times higher attenuation than previously available absorber sheets and helps achieve attenuation values otherwise attainable only with shielding cabinets.

Characteristics WE-EMIP:

  • Hybrid material with absorber and metal layers, effective both against magnetic and electric fields
  • Wide frequency range from 100 Hz up to 25 GHz
  • Extremely flexible
  • Very low thickness: 0.072 mm
  • Isolated version with high surface resistance
  • The non-isolated version allows the connection of the metal layer to the ground
  • Self-adhesive backing for easy installation
  • Absorber layer with permeability of 100
  • Metal layer: Aluminum
  • Operating temperature: -25 up to +105°C
  • Easy to process
  • Custom designs on request

Applications

  • Alternative to classical Shielding Cabinet solution, providing similar levels of shielding effectiveness
  • EMC noise suppression
  • Magnetic Decoupling
  • SAR reduction
  • Avoiding cavity resonances
  • Prevention of Electro Static Discharge
  • Housing and openings between PCBs, on ICs, processors and controllers, on cables that need high flexibility and LCD/LED monitors.
  • Useful for any kind of electronic device
