EMI / RFI Shielding Cloth

     

Woven Wire Cloth is the material of choice, utilized in applications requiring shielding of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).

 

The reduction or exclusion of Electro-magnetic interference and/or radio frequency interference is dependent upon the signal amplitude and frequency in relation to the many combinations of mesh count, wire diameter and weaving materials available.

 

The most popular materials for EMI/RFI shielding and ground plane applications include pure copper, nickel plated copper, silver plated copper, brass, nickel plated low carbon steel, stainless steel and nickel plated stainless steel.

 
RFI Shielding
Effective shielding is perhaps the single most important measure in preventing or eliminating any RFI problem.  However, unwanted rf energy must be dissipated.  The task becomes harder to perform when the spacing between the source of energy and the boundaries of the shield diminish.   Consequently, the use of a double shield is one way reducing residual radiation from the primary shielding surface.
In order to obtain maximum effectiveness of a particular shielding application, no breaks or points of entry  should be permitted.  
The small holes (apertures) in woven wire shielding cloth do not degrade shielding effectiveness.
