Flex Suppressor
®
EF Series
Overview
Applications
• Radiation noise suppression for electronic equipment
• Quasi-microwave range interference prevention inside
and in between electronics
• Mobile communications equipment, wireless equipment
(Wi-Fi, Bluetooth), office automation equipment (personal
computers, TFT LCD’s etc.), communication terminals in
audio/video equipment, digital exchanges, etc.
• ESD (electro static discharge) countermeasure
The EF Series Flex Suppressor
®
is an effective suppressor
for high frequency noise generated from electronic devices.
The flexible sheet is a polymer base blended with micron
sized magnetic powders dispersed into the material. The EF
Series are effective for resonance and wave suppression,
and can be cut into virtually any shape.
Benefits
• Usable in quasi-microwave ranges
• Can be used in high-speed clocks (Up to 10 GHz)
• Thin, flexible material used in portable equipment
• Virtually no limitation in where it can be used
• Less time required for installation
• Resonance suppression – controls the high frequency
current and suppresses unwanted electromagnetic
resonance by creating impedance
• Electromagnetic wave suppression – suppresses the
electromagnetic wave intruding the sheet by the magnetic
loss of its composition

Shielding
Shielding materials
(metal, electrically conductive material)
While transmitted waves can be minimized, most of the incoming waves
are reflected, causing internal interference. High-frequency electric current
occurs on the metal surfaces and reflected noise occurs at the shielding
joints, metal openings, and other parts when the grounding is poor.
