Shielding Material Programme
Foil Braid Wire And Drain Wire Matched To One Construction
The Programme
What This Covers
A shield is a system, not a component. The tape, the braid wire, the drain wire and the overlap all decide the final attenuation together, and changing one without the others is how shielding specifications quietly fail. This programme fixes all four against a single construction so repeat orders behave the same way.

Step By Step
How It Runs From Enquiry To Delivery
Target Setting
Attenuation target and frequency band stated first — for example the 1 to 100 MHz band where these tapes are characterised.
Tape Selection
AL/PET composite up to 70 dB with Mylar foil, or copper polyester at around 100 dB where the target is higher.
Braid Specification
Wire grade from CCA, CCS, CCAM or Al-Mg and coverage percentage set against cost, weight and solderability.
Drain Wire
Tinned copper gauge fixed, typically 0.4 or 0.5 mm², so grounding continuity is consistent.
Slitting and Reeling
Tape width from 2 mm and wire reels sized for your braider carriers.
Verification
Overlap and coverage checked on finished samples rather than on incoming material alone.

Shielding Material Programme FAQ
How much attenuation can foil shielding deliver?
Aluminium composite tapes reach up to 70 dB when used with Mylar foil, and copper foil polyester tape reaches around 100 dB, both characterised in the 1 to 100 MHz range.
Which braid wire is lightest?
Al-Mg alloy wire, which has the best weight-to-strength ratio, though it is not solderable.
What drain wire is standard?
Tinned copper, typically 0.4 to 0.5 mm², depending on the construction.
