Harwin RFI shield chips and cans

RFI or EMI shield cans are the most popular way of providing protection against the effects of RFI and EMI. They create a Faraday cage around the sensitive or emitting circuits, preventing interference disrupting the device. The disadvantages of this method are:

• Cans are fixed into place using expensive hand-soldering
• They cannot be easily or safely removed for maintenance or repair-leading to the risk of PCB damage
• Two-piece cans (for later access) are expensive products 

Features

• Midi size (8.8mm long, 3.4mm high), from 0.4mm to 0.6mm shield thickness. Tin finish on contact area and termination
• Packaged in tape and reel for automated placement.
• Can be used to hold two 0.20mm or 0.30mm thick shield cans, so they can be PCB mounted next to each other

Applications

• Wi-Fi modules
• Smart fridges
• Bluetooth devices
• Smartphones
• Telecoms hubs
