PCB-Level EMC and RF Shielding Solutions
PCB-level EMC and RF shielding is an essential part of modern electronic design. These solutions protect sensitive components, suppress radiated emissions, and improve overall EMC performance, even in compact electronic assemblies.
Component RF Shields
Component RF shields (Shielding Cans) provide effective EMC, and RF protection for sensitive PCB components and RF circuits. These shielded enclosures reduce coupling between components, prevent unwanted emissions from radiating into the surrounding environment, and protect sensitive circuits from external electromagnetic interference.
Amitronic offers a comprehensive range of board-level RF shields with various material, design, and finishing options. Solutions are available in tape-and-reel packaging for automated SMT assembly or can be custom-manufactured according to customer drawings and specifications.
