Low Profile EMI Filter Panels

Thin Screen Shields (TSS)

For applications where a combination air vent and dust shield is required, but where space is limited. TSS vents are comprised of layers of crimped and expanded aluminium alloy mounted in an aluminium frame. There are two frame styles to choose from, TSS-132 and TSS-133. These vents provide good EMI protection. However, air flow is poor.

TSS-132

Low Profile EMI Filter Panel TSS132

This frame style is of a rigid, all-welded construction and offers the maximum surface area for the location of fixing holes. To ensure electrical continuity to the enclosure, a groove is incorporated for positive location of a Monel mesh gasket.

TSS-133

Low Profile EMI Filter Panel TSS133

A lightweight frame for use when the maximum shielding effectiveness is not required. This unit can be slid into place, but should fit closely with the cabinet panels.

Low Profile Vents

Low profile vents are recommended for applications where space is limited, eliminating the use of honeycomb vents. Available in a choice of screen materials: Monel or Aluminium, low profile vents do not provide shielding effectiveness to the same level of Honeycomb Vents, particularly in the higher frequency range. Where this is not a problem, they provide a lightweight, high airflow vent, which will also restrict the passage of larger particles of debris and insects.

The screen material is crimped into an aluminium frame, and is supplied complete with a Monel wire mesh gasket.

LPV-100

Low Profile EMI Filter Panel LPV-100

A lightweight fully welded frame with a surface area sufficient to accommodate M4 fixings. An elastomer cored wire mesh gasket is fitted as standard.
