When braided into a shield, ARACON metal clad fiber provides superior performance against electromagnetic interference (EMI) with weight savings of up to 80% over conventional metal braiding. ARACON braids are designed to perform in even the most severe high‐vibration, high‐stress applications.
ARACON braids are offered with silver or nickel plating depending upon the application. Also available are blends of nickel plated ARACON with nickel plated copper wire. The blended braids enhance lower frequency shielding performance and provide additional lightning protection, all while still offering substantial weight savings compared to the traditional full metal shield.

Typical EMI problems behind connectors and backshells are easily mitigated with ARACON Braided EMI Shields. Multiple sizes are available to shield problem areas for the most demanding specifications.

Standard sizes ranging from 0.062 to 2.00 inch inner diameter are typically available from stock. Our engineers can also work to tailor a special size for your specific application.
