New EZBoardWare low profile RFI Shield Cans from Harwin protect
sensitive PCB circuitry at minimal installed cost
S02 Series for automatic placement provides excellent retention and easy removal: available in a range of
sizes and heights
Portsmouth, UK, November 2014… Harwin, the leading hi-rel connector and SMT board hardware
manufacturer, today launches a range of new, low profile RFI Shield Cans that provide excellent
protection for sensitive PCB circuitry against radio frequency interference (RFI) and electro-magnetic
interference (EMI) at board level. Attenuation performance up to 24dB can be achieved, depending on
frequency and configuration. An extension to Harwin’s popular EZBoardWare range, S02 Series RFI
Shield Cans are designed to be used with EZBoardWare RFI Shield Can Clips and provide good
protection against vibration due to their excellent retention.
These low-profile cans, manufactured
from 0.2mm thick nickel silver, can be placed automatically to minimise manufacturing costs. An
additional advantage of EZBoardWare RFI Shield Cans and Clips is easy removal and replacement,
ideal when adjustment, repair and maintenance is required.
S02 Series RFI Shield Cans have a simple, five-sided box design, which is mechanically robust and
more cost-effective than fence and cover types. Used with EZ-BoardWare Shield Can Clips, S02 Series
Shield Cans resist vibration and remain securely retained on the PCB. As well as simplifying
maintenance and adjustment, auto placement of both the EZBoardWare Shield Cans and related EZBoardWare Clips eliminates post-assembly soldering and de-soldering, significantly reducing PCB
damage caused by local overheating on the board.
There are many applications for EZBoardWare RFI Shield Cans across multiple markets, including
consumer electronics and industrial, instrumentation and control systems. Some examples are radio
systems, wireless equipment and consumer electronic devices which require excellent shielding
performance and effective can retention at low-cost.
