Amorphous Shielding

About Noise Suppression Sheet Materials

The need for more compact and multi-functional electronic devices requires a large number of electronic components to be mounted on PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) with extremely high density. The emitted noise by the ICs and cables is becoming increasingly important. During product design it is difficult to estimate emissions requiring noise suppression. A solution that is easily implemented is to use flexible noise suppression sheets, which can be punched and cut, and processed into various shapes, including high permeability nanocrystalline tapes for locations which are susceptible to noise emissions.

Our Noise Suppression Sheets and tapes materials are available for low frequency Magnetic 50Hz to 100kHz noise, to EMI noise in the 100MHz to 6GHz range. These are flexible sheets, tapes and films which, depending on the frequency range of noise suppression needed, are composed of different materials and constructions.

Nanocrystalline Magnetic Shielding

This is a series of thin and flexible magnetic shielding sheets made of high permeability nanocrystalline ribbon, laminated with PET films to form Nanocrystalline Magnetic Shielding. The sheets are thin, light weight and flexible, and easy to handle. They have superior magnetic shielding effect especially in frequencies below several 100kHz.

One layer can shield about 100µT and multiple layers can shield strong magnetic fields. Bending, cutting and punching has only a small deterioration in shielding effect. This allows the material to be applied on curved surfaces and cut or punched into various shapes. Rolls are suitable for large-scale magnetic shields such as in a shielding room.

Shielding Effect of Magnetic Field at 50Hz

50 hz Magnetic field (2)

Thickness of grain-oriented Si (Silicon) steel in the above chart corresponds to one layer of M6 or approximately three layers of M4. For toroidal transformer magnetic shielding is applied to the OD of the transformer.

When Si steel is used it is the same as the transformer core material. M6, which is 0.35 mm thick, or M4 which is 0.27 mm thick (3 layers are applied), which equals 0.81mm approximating 0.7mm in the above chart.

Applications

Nanocrystalline Magnetic Shielding has an extremely good weight to noise suppression ratio, making it an excellent choice to mitigate the magnetic noise generated from inductors in electronic devices, which are easily affected by magnetic fields or fluctuating magnetic fields. It is also used for magnetic shielding of buildings adjacent to power lines or power distribution installations.


Nanocrystalline EMI Suppressor Sheet

  Nanocrystalline suppressor sheet permeability chart (2)

Halogen-free noise suppression sheet with flame retardance composed of high performance nanocrystalline soft magnetic material. The nanocrystalline material is powered and bonded together with resin and formed into sheets. These sheets have high suppression effect on radiation noise and feature excellent complex relative permeability, resulting in high suppression of radiation noise in the range from 0.1 to 10 GHz.

Sheets are flexible and easy to handle, punch and cut in various shapes. They can even be applied to curved surfaces.

Applications

Highly effective in suppression of radiation noise and cross-talk noise in multilayered circuit boards in various electronic devices, flexible flat cables or on the internal or external surface of a chassis containing digital devices.
