Shielding
Shielding means all over plating of a plastic body for high frequency shielding.
Fields of Application
- Telecommunication
- Automotive industry
Plastic Materials
All plastic materials that can be plated are applicable for shielding technology, it is simply a question of request. The plastic materials ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) and PC (polycarbonate) are frequently used for shielding.
Advantages
- Savings by applying less expensive plastic materials
- Only a chemical process is necessary for high-frequency shielding
Disadvantages
- Parts are not solderable when applying ABS and PC
