Overview

Excellent EMI-shielding performance
Adhesive closure provides secure seal
Wrap-around design for easy installation

Z-Shield® (Al) is a wrap-around, EMI-shielding solution providing exceptional protection from damaging electromagnetic interference. The jacket utilizes PFR-8235-a lightweight, thin and flame-retardant polyurethane film. The material resists abrasion, chemicals and UV, and is RoHS compliant and PVC-free.

The SH1 shielding foil, made of a bright-finished aluminum foil equipped with a polyester film backing, offers the best of EMI shielding. The adhesive closure provides a secure, permanent seal around components for complete, 360-degree protection. Z-Shield® (Al) has an optional 15 AWG or 27 AWG tin/copper drain wire for applications requiring grounding.

Z-Shield® (Al) is an ideal choice for applications that will not experience any flexing or movement. If the application needs more flexibility, the Z-Shield® product line offers products with EMI shielding cloths that can move without compromising the shielding performance, such as Z-Shield® (3250), Z-Shield® (5080) and Z-Shield® (7200).

Z-Shield® (Al) accommodates round, flat or rectangular components with diameters ranging from 0.25" to 4". Custom sizes and shapes are available upon request. Z-Shield® (Al) has an operational temperature range of -65°F to 250°F (-54°C to 121°C).

Installation Instructions

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: How should I ground or terminate the ends of this tubing?

A: There are many different ways to terminate and ground Z-Shield. Our termination and splicing guide offers some common techniques. Additionally, Zippertubing design engineers can assist with recommendations to suit specific or custom grounding applications.

Q: What lengths of Z-Shield are available?

A: Typical spool lengths for most sizes are 100 feet, but will depend on total order footage. Custom lengths can be provided, just make sure to ask when ordering or include details on the PO for the lengths required.

Q: Can I cut the sleeving?

A: Yes. Standard scissors are suitable for cutting through most Z-Shield sleeves.

Q: What diameter of shielding do I need? Is it recommended to oversize?

A: We will often suggest oversizing the sleeve diameter by 1/8” to allow for ease of installation. If the application requires significant bending or flexing we will suggest even more extra room. For assistance with sizing you can also contact one of our design engineers.

Q: What is the minimum bend radius of the tubing?

A: There is no minimum bend radius for our Z-Shield products. The flexible jacketing material allows for extreme amounts of bending and flexing. For applications requiring lots of motion or bending, we do recommend utilizing a metalized fabric shield instead of a foil shield.

Q: Do you have any tips for installation?

A: For the best installation, make sure the sleeving and work area are clean and free of contaminants that could prevent the adhesive from sticking. Only remove the release liner when you are ready to install the product and avoid touching the exposed adhesive strip. Finally, once installed, it is best to apply firm pressure to the overlap area to ensure the PSA is well bonded.
