Screening Braid

Product Summary

Screening braid is a cost effective solution for shielding wire bundles from electromagnetic interference (EMI/EMC). In many applications cable screening is important to either minimize cross-talk within the cable or prevent internal or external sources of interference.

Features & Benefits

  • EMI/EMC Protection
  • Mechanical protection

Metal Braid EMI/EMC Shielding

Selection Guide

Raybraid® 90 has a minimum of 90% optical coverage and is available in a wide range of sizes to cover 2mm to 36mm diameters.

Raybraid® 101 and 103 have a minimum of 93% and maximum of 100% optical coverage and is available in a wide range of sizes to cover 2.5mm to 38mm diameters.

Standard Raybraid 90 and 101 are tinned copper with Raybraid 103 being nickel plated copper for high temperature applications.

Raybraid is supplied on a round tube former which facilitates assembly and is more robust than braid supplied in flattened form.

Features & Benefits

  • Screening military harnesses
  • Minimum 90% optical coverage
  • 101 and 103 Super flexible
  • Good expansion ratio
  • Supplied on plastic former to maintain round profile and is more robust than braid
  • supplied in flattened form

Operating Temperature

  • Raybraid 90 & 101 up to +150°C
  • Raybraid 103 above +200°C

Raybraid is fully compatible with Tinel-Lock
adaptors for termination of the braid to
associated connectors.
