Cable Braiding and Shielding Services for EMI Protection
As a specialized cable braiding and EMI shielding provider, OurPCB delivers copper braid shielding with 85% to 95%+ coverage for electromagnetic interference protection. Our automated braiding equipment processes cables from 1mm to 50mm+ diameter for shielded cable and wire harness applications requiring RF protection.
Braid material options include bare copper for maximum conductivity, tinned copper for corrosion resistance, stainless steel for strength and temperature, and nickel-plated copper for specific environments. Proper braid selection depends on shielding frequency range, environmental conditions, and mechanical requirements.
Our braiding serves coaxial cables and RF assemblies, medical device signal cables requiring EMI protection, and aerospace avionics wiring. Telecommunications and data applications benefit from proper shielding for signal integrity.
Shield termination options include solder sleeve, crimp ferrule, heat shrink, and pigtail drain wire. Proper termination ensures shield effectiveness at connectors. Expandable braided sleeving provides mechanical abrasion protection in addition to or instead of EMI shielding.
Over-braiding adds shielding to existing cables or cable assemblies for retrofit applications. Our testing capabilities verify shield effectiveness. Contact us for cable braiding quotes for your EMI shielding and mechanical protection requirements.
Braiding FAQ
Braid shielding effectiveness depends on coverage percentage and material. Standard 85% coverage provides good general shielding. 95%+ coverage with proper termination provides excellent high-frequency shielding for demanding applications.
We offer bare copper, tinned copper (for corrosion resistance), stainless steel (for strength and temperature), and nickel-plated copper (for specific environments). Material selection depends on shielding needs and operating conditions.
Yes, we can add over-braiding to existing cables or cable assemblies. This is common for adding shielding to unshielded cables or adding mechanical protection over jacketed cables.
Braid termination options include solder sleeve, crimp ferrule, heat shrink, and pigtail drain wire. Proper termination ensures shield effectiveness and reliable grounding at connectors.
