BERYLLIUM COPPER GASKETS FOR EMI SHIELDING FROM TBA ECP NOW ROHS COMPLIANT - 16/03/2007

EMI shielding specialist, TBA Electro Conductive Products (ECP) has announced that its range of Beryllium Copper fingerstock gaskets for EMI shielding meets the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS Directive).

The directive bans the use of certain substances in new products from July 2006, specifically Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Hexavalent Chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE).

TBA ECP's extensive range of BeCu gaskets contains none of the banned substances and fully meets RoHS directive requirements.

TBA ECP's beryllium copper fingerstock is available in a wide range of styles including clip-on, stick-on, snap-on, hook-on and special mounting types plus low profile and connectors gaskets all delivering high shielding effectiveness. A wide range of plating options is available including clean and bright, gold, silver, bright tin, bright nickel, zinc/clear chromate and electroless nickel among others.

Beryllium copper shielding strips offer excellent spring qualities and long life. Other important characteristics include low closing forces and high attenuation exceeding 100dB for many styles.

Complementing its range of beryllium copper shielding strips, TBA ECP also supplies stainless steel versions of its low-profile and pressure sensitive mounting gaskets. These extend the choice of materials available to design engineers and provide hard-wearing and long-lasting EMI/RFI shielding in a wide range of applications.

TBA Electro Conductive Products is a specialist manufacturer of high quality electro static protection (ESP) and electro magnetic interference (EMI) shielding products. The EMI shielding range includes an extensive portfolio of gaskets and gasketing materials, metal foil tapes, shielded windows and mesh products, vent panels and shielded fan vents. All products supplied by TBA ECP comply with RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC.
