Glenair AmberStrand® Composite EMI/RFI Braid

AmberStrand® Composite EMI/RFI Braid Nickel Plated Composite Shielding Offers Unique Solution to Electromagnetic Compatibility Expandable, flexible, high-strength, conductive, thermoplastic material Provides abrasion resistance and EMI shielding at a fraction of the weight of metal braid

Glenair AmberStrand® Features “The Weight Saver” - average 78% less than tin/copper Shields from 80db to 40db in 1Ghz Superb optical braid coverage % Full mechanical function - Crimp, Band-It, Solder Extremely strong fiber coated with Nickel or Silver. Meets limits of 1.0% max outgas test to IAW ASTM and 0.10% max. CVCM Meets Lightning strike ANSVEIA specification at 3Kva, 6Kva & 10Kva wave form B High flexure strength and flexibility -80˚C to +220˚C Excellent Abrasion and Burn Resistance

Glenair AmberStrand® Market Applications  Reduce the Size and Weight of Interconnect Systems  Eliminate EMI Signal Distortion on interconnect assemblies  Solve High Cycle/High Flexure Mechanical Assembly issues  Perform in High Temperature Applications

Glenair AmberStrand® Weight Savings  100 feet of ¼” AmberStrand vs. Tin/Copper shield saves 3+ Lbs.  100 feet of 5/8” AmberStrand vs. Tin/Copper shield saves 5+ Lbs.  Estimated system weight savings in a mix of AmberStrand sizes totaling 1000 feet in length could save 40 to 50 pounds or more.  In a Jumbo Jet longer lengths of AmberStrand could add up to passengers being “lost” via weight savings.
