The 8000 series vents are manufactured in both custom and standard configerations. EMI shielding performance is achieved from 1/8 cell aluminium honeycomb panels mounted in high strength aluminium frames available in 8 styles. Frame to enclosure shielding options include twinseal, mesh gaskets, beryllium copper (be/cu) fingerstrips or fabric over foam conductive gaskets.
Shielding effectiveness and environmental protection can be improved by plating with tin or nickel. The highest level of shielding is achieved with a cross cell configeration where two 1/4 thick honeycomb panels are assembled with the foil seams oriented 90 degrees from each other.
