ARACON brand metal clad fibers are available in various types of tubular braided EMI shielding for your mostdemanding applications. Available only from Micro-Coax, ARACON brand metal-clad fibers combine the strength,light weight and flexibility of genuine DuPont™ KEVLAR® fibers with the conductivity and corrosionresistance of nickel or the solderability of silver.
ARACON braids offer excellent performance in high-vibration, high-stress applications. When ARACON fibers arebraided into a shield, superior performance against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) withweight savings of up to 80% over conventional metal braiding is achieved.
Nickel-plated ARACON braids are offered in two grades: shielding grade for those applications where weightsavings is paramount and salt fog grade where additional corrosion resistance is required. Silver-plated ARACONbraid is offered in shielding grade only for applications where solderability is crucial. In each case, 75/25 blendedbraids of ARACON with either nickel or silver-plated copper wire are available for improved low frequencyshielding and lightning protection while still realizing substantial weight savings compared to traditional metal braid.
Typical EMI problem areas behind connectors and backshells can easily be shielded with ARACON tubular braids. Multiple sizes are available allowing shielding of various harness and connector sizes and all sizes maybe terminated with banding straps, continuous force springs or compression-style terminations to provide the neededEMI shielding without excess weight.
Standard sizes are available for all grades and blends in diameters ranging from 0.125” ID to 2.00” ID.Smaller sizes are available in 100% shielding grade ARACON. Customized solutions and expert engineeringsupport are available should a special size, blend or contractor sourced overbraid made from bulk ARACON fiberbe required for your specific application.
When your shielding application requires weight reduction at a cost effective price, turn to the proven solution - ARACON.
