Glenair AmberStrand® Composite
EMI/RFI Braid
AmberStrand® Composite EMI/RFI
Braid
Nickel Plated Composite Shielding Offers Unique Solution to
Electromagnetic Compatibility
Expandable, flexible, high-strength,
conductive, thermoplastic material
Provides abrasion resistance and
EMI shielding at a fraction
of the weight of metal braid
Glenair AmberStrand® Features
“The Weight Saver” - average 78% less than tin/copper
Shields from 80db to 40db in 100Khz @ 1Ghz
Superb optical braid coverage - 90-95%
Full mechanical function - Crimp, Band-It, Solder
Extremely strong fiber coated with Nickel or Silver.
Meets limits of 1.0% max outgas test to IAW
ASTM-595-90 and 0.10% max. CVCM
Meets Lightning strike ANSVEIA-364-75 specification
at 3Kva, 6Kva & 10Kva wave form B
High flexure strength and flexibility -80˚C to +220˚C
Excellent Abrasion and Burn Resistance
Glenair AmberStrand®
Market Applications
 Reduce the Size and Weight of
Interconnect Systems
 Eliminate EMI Signal Distortion on
interconnect assemblies
 Solve High Cycle/High Flexure
Mechanical Assembly issues
 Perform in High Temperature
Applications
Glenair AmberStrand® Weight Savings
 100 feet of ¼” AmberStrand vs. Tin/Copper shield saves 3+
Lbs.
 100 feet of 5/8” AmberStrand vs. Tin/Copper shield saves 5+
Lbs.
 Estimated system weight savings in a mix of AmberStrand
sizes totaling 1000 feet in length could save 40 to 50 pounds or
more.
 In a Jumbo Jet longer lengths of AmberStrand could add up to
passengers being “lost” via weight savings.
