SHX-2 (S/S)
Stainless Steel Wire EMI Shielding Mesh, 2-Ply
SHX-2 (S/S) is a flexible 2 layer knitted wire mesh EMI shielding material that is made of 304 Stainless Steel wire. The knitted mesh design creates a highly flexible shield that unlike many tubular braids will not change attenuation performance when articulated. The knitted wire mesh maintains constant window spacing during cable assembly movement and as a result yields excellent EMI shielding performance from 500 KHz through 500 MHz. The material is conductive, lightweight and ideal for severe environments and highly corrosive applications. The mesh can be added to most Zippertubing jacket materials to create an easy to install Zip-on EMI shielded assembly. SHX-2 (S/S) shields come with a standard 15 AWG drain wire attached to simplify grounding. This material has been used to provide rodent protection, EMI Shielding in seawater and extremely high temperature applications.
Features & Benefits: Excellent EMI Shielding (500 KHz to 500 MHz) Extremely Flexible & Lightweight Extremely Corrosion Resistant Non Flammable & Heat Resistant -55 to 650 C Operational Limits
