Product catalog summary
Introduction to Electromagnetic Shielding:
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is crucial for ensuring that equipment operates without interference in its electromagnetic environment. Since 1996, it has been a legal requirement in Europe and many industrialized countries. Ignoring EMC can lead to minor nuisances or severe service interruptions.
Importance of EMC:
EMC is vital for preventing issues ranging from minor interference on radios and TVs to severe industrial process failures or unintended device activations. It also helps prevent electronic eavesdropping and ensures system safety and functionality.
General Principles of EMC:
EMC ensures that equipment neither emits nor is susceptible to electromagnetic disturbances. Standard limits manage emissions and immunity to allow equipment to coexist without interference.
Sources of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI):
EMI can originate from natural phenomena like lightning or artificial sources such as radio transmitters, digital circuits, and industrial equipment, generating unwanted high-frequency emissions.
Purpose of Shielding:
Shielding reduces electromagnetic emissions and improves immunity, enhancing electrical continuity and equipotentiality without requiring a perfect Faraday cage.
Shield Performance and Efficiency:
Shielding effectiveness is measured by the reduction in field strength after applying the shield, depending on material and thickness.
Electromagnetic Shielding Overview:
Electromagnetic shielding protects electronic equipment from external EMI using conductive or magnetic barriers. Shielding Efficiency (SE) is the ratio of the electromagnetic field without the shield to the field with the shield installed.
Shielding Efficiency Measurement:
Measured in decibels (dB), SE is calculated using SE (dB) = 20 Log (Ei/Es), where Ei is the incident field and Es is the transmitted field. Effectiveness combines reflection loss and absorption loss.
Materials and Properties:
Common shielding materials include copper, aluminum, ordinary steel, and monel, each with specific conductivity and permeability properties. Skin depth affects absorption loss and depends on these properties and the electromagnetic wave frequency.
Shielding Alterations:
Openings, slots, and seams can reduce shielding effectiveness, especially at higher frequencies. Conductive gaskets and sealing methods help maintain shielding integrity.
Shielding Requirements:
Shield performance depends on frequency range and whether the concern is susceptibility or emissions. Different environments have varying requirements for field immunity and emission limits.
Practical Considerations:
Shielding effectiveness is limited by the largest openings in the enclosure, so ensuring continuity at these points is crucial. Shielding materials and methods must exceed expected requirements for adequate protection.
Materials and Specifications:
Discusses materials used in sheet gaskets, including aluminum, monel, and conductive particles. Elastomers include polychloroprene, butadiene nitrile acrylic, ethylene propylene diene, silicone, fluoro silicone, and polyurethane.
Sheet Gaskets:
Sheet gaskets like TRIMAS, ELASIL, and NEOSIL F can be installed directly on their support. For thicknesses over 3 mm, braces are recommended to limit clamping to 10-15%.
Adhesive Tapes:
Some gaskets come with double-sided adhesive tapes for easy installation. The temperature of the support and adhesive should be similar, and the gasket should be fixed in one operation, remaining unused for at least 24 hours for adhesive curing.
Protection Levels:
Explains IP protection levels, with the first number indicating protection against solid materials and the second against liquids.
Galvanic Potentials:
In humid or industrial environments, consider the potential difference between the shielding element and the metal in contact to prevent corrosion.
Application and Installation Advice:
Gaskets and grooves are defined by gasket type, seal cross-section, and required watertightness. Installation advice includes ensuring clean, dry surfaces and using appropriate solvents for cleaning.
Storage Advice:
Contact strips with adhesive surfaces should be used within six months of delivery and stored in original packaging at around 21°C.

ELECTROMAGNETIC SHIELDING GENERALITES La Compatibilité ElectroMagnétique (C.E.M.) est l’aptitude d’un équipement à fonctionner dans son environnement électromagnétique sans être perturbé, et sans perturber des équipements voisins ou des services radio-électriques. ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (E.M.C.) is the ability of an equipment to operate in its electromagnetic environment without being disturbed, and without disturbing neighbour equipments or radio services by ElectroMagnetic Interference (E.M.I.).

ELECTROMAGNETIC SHIELDING Une bonne C.E.M. dicte que chaque équipement ne soit ni perturbateur, ni perturbé. Cette cohabitation implique des précautions pour maîtriser à la fois les émissions électromagnétiques des appareils et leur susceptibilité aux perturbations ambiantes. Comme il n’est pas économiquement et techniquement réaliste de construire des équipements qui n’émettent rien et qui résistent à tout, il existe des règles, sous forme de limites standards, qui permettent de gérer les cohabitations en fonction des principales catégories d’environnement. Ces limites régissent : A sound E.M.C....

ELECTROMAGNETIC SHIELDING POURQUOI UN BLINDAGE ? Intuitivement, on conçoit qu’un équipement enfermé dans un caisson métallique intégral sans la moindre fuite, ne soit ni émetteur, ni susceptible. Heureusement, ce concept de cage de Faraday quasi-parfaite est rarement indispensable. Pour la plupart des équipements électroniques, la C.E.M. peut être satisfaite grâce à des réalisations de blindage plus modestes. Intuitively, one might conceive that an equipment which is enclosed in an integral metallic vault, without any leakage, will neither be an emitter or a victim. Hopefully, this concept of...

ELECTROMAGNETIC SHIELDING Très souvent, cette mesure rigoureuse n’est pas praticable et on utilise l’approximation : EB = champ dans la région ➀ champ dans la région ➁ Quite often, this formal measurement is not practical and the following approximation is used instead : SE = field in region ➀ field in region ➁ Ei Es Parfois même, on la mesure comme le rapport entre le champ dans une enceinte “portes ouvertes” puis “portes fermées”. Ces deux extrapolations peuvent amener des différences importantes par rapport à la stricte définition : l’on s’en accommode dans la mesure où tout le monde pratique...

ELECTROMAGNETIC SHIELDING Cette impédance d’onde vaut 377Ω lorsque le blindage se trouve à plusieurs longueurs d’onde λ de la source émettrice. Lorsqu’il est très proche (par exemple à λ/10 ou moins) d’une source essentiellement magnétique, l’impédance du champ Zch est d’autant plus faible et la perte par réflexion est moins bonne (Figure 3). This wave impedance has a value of 377Ω when the shield is at several wavelengths λ from the radiating source. When the shield is very near (like λ/10 or less) from a predominantly magnetic source, the Zw term is correspondingly smaller and the reflection...

ELECTROMAGNETIC SHIELDING Or, la fuite créée par une ouverture s’aggrave avec la fréquence, car elle est liée à la dimension de l’orifice par rapport à la longueur d’onde radioélectrique du champ. Si sa plus grande dimension atteint λ/2 de la fréquence perturbatrice, l’ouverture se comporte à peu près comme une antenne accordée parfaite et re-rayonne derrière elle toute l’énergie du champ incident. L’efficacité de blindage EB de la paroi tombe alors à ≈ 0 dB (100 % du champ est transmis), quelle que soit la qualité du métal de la paroi. Ainsi, une fente rectangulaire de 30 cm de long devient...

ELECTROMAGNETIC SHIELDING c) s’agit-il d’émissions, la source étant dedans et la limite prescrite dehors ? Ce cas est souvent le plus contraignant, car la paroi pourra se trouver en conditions de champ proche d’une source magnétique (impédances de circuits << 377Ω), ce qui donnera une réflexion médiocre (Figure 3) et des phénomènes de re-réflexions et résonances multiples à l’intérieur. Le tableau 2 indique les limites de champ rayonné imposées pour quelques applications. Là encore, on sait qu’un ensemble de circuits numériques modernes, avec des fréquences d’horloge toujours supérieures à 20-30...
