3M AB5030 1/2" X 4"-100

The 3M AB5030 1/2" X 4"-100 is a RFI and EMI - Shielding and Absorbing Materials commonly used for radio frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) control. The product is designed for use in an environmental where RFI and EMI may exceed levels that can cause perceptible system performance degradations or even system failure. The 3M AB5030 1/2" X 4"-100 provides excellent performance up to 2GHz.

The product consists of a conductive base material and a dielectric reinforcement. The base material provides the first line of defense against RFI and EMI. Its high EMI efficiency is achieved through three different mechanisms. These are reflection, absorption and diffusion of energy. As the incoming signal passes through the material, it is reflected, or absorbed, then ultimately diffused throughout the material. This helps to reduce the strength of the signal, and thereby reduce its effect on sensitive equipment.

The reinforcement further increases the shielding effectiveness of the 3M AB5030 1/2" X 4"-100 by providing additional absorption of the energy. This absorption process is referred to as \'dielectric absorption\'. This added layer of protection helps to further reduce the overall strength of the incoming signal.

The product is most commonly used for RFI and EMI control in the following areas. It is used for shields for electrical boxes and panels, controlling signal and power lines, and in any area where RFI and EMI is likely to be present. It is also used as an effective means of controlling EMI emissions from power line connectors, as well as shielding EMI sensitive components from interference. It is also used in the creation of Faraday cages, which are used to protect sensitive equipment from overload and failure due to electromagnetic interference.

The 3M AB5030 1/2" X 4"-100 provides excellent impedance control, wide frequency response, and strong shielding effectiveness. It also provides excellent protection against a wide range of RF signals, including those used by cellular phones, WiFi, Bluetooth, and other wireless services. With its superior performance and reliable shielding capabilities, the 3M AB5030 1/2" X 4"-100 is a must-have component for any wireless communication or interference control system.

In summary, the 3M AB5030 1/2" X 4"-100 is an excellent RFI and EMI - Shielding and Absorbing Materials that provides superior shielding against a wide range of RF signals. Its high shielding effectiveness, wide frequency response, and impressive impedance control make it a preferred choice for RFI and EMI control in many different applications. It is cost effective, easy to install, and provides reliable protection from interference that can cause equipment degradation or failure.
