SHIELDING PRODUCTS
METEX has been a pioneer
in EMI/RFI gasketing and
shielding products for more
than five decades. In fact,
METEX developed the very
first EMI/RFI gasket to help
MIT solve a severe interference problem for the earliest
high-power, high-frequency
airborne radar.
That pioneering spirit is
still alive today—with a complete line of military and
commercial-grade EMI/RFI
shielding solutions.
As communications and
information technologies
expand, the need to provide
EMI/RFI solutions becomes
more critical than ever
before.
Conductive fabric shielding tape offers excellent conductivity, strong adhesion
and durability in a thin, lightweight and flexible shielding design.
Constructed of nickel over copper metalized fabric with acrylic conductive
adhesive, this high-quality tape design provides excellent shielding effectiveness while offering superior abrasion and corrosion resistance.
Tapes are an economical shielding solution for a wide variety of commercial applications, and roll forms provide a low impedance connection between
a braided cable shield and the metal connector backshell in molded cables. An
effective shielded assembly can be achieved without soldering tape to the braid
or backshell.
Shielding tapes are available in roll form in various widths, die-cut or kisscut formats.
