Shielding Effectiveness
•
Commercial EMI Shielding Products
• • • • EMI gaskets Conductive compounds Conductive coatings Shielded windows and air ventilation panels None of these products are typically measured by an industry consensus, shielding effectiveness test method. Vendor utilized test methods vary by manufacturer.

Shielding Effectiveness Shielded Windows & Air Ventilation Panels
•
Radiated field tests
• MIL-STD-285 or IEEE-STD-299, Modified • •
Stirred mode/reverberation chamber tests Enclosure or equipment level tests
8
Shielding Effectiveness Current standards activity
• IEEE EMC Society actively working on revisions to IEEE STD 299 to create three sections addressing three sizes of enclosures • SAE AE-4 Committee has discussed revising and updating SAE ARP 1173 • ASTM Committee D09 has stopped EMC standards development activities
9
Shielding Effectiveness MlL-STD-285 (1956)
• Frequencies: 150 kHz - 200 kHz, 200 kHz, 1 MHz, 18 MHz, 400 MHz • • Officially withdrawn but still used in industry Many undocumented/unapproved derivatives used “modified” MIL STD 285 • Used extensively to rate shielding performance of EMI gaskets, conductive coatings, shielded vents and windows
Shielding Effectiveness US National Security Agency Standards NSA 65-6, NSA 73-2A, NSA 95-106
• NSA 65-6 (1964) - 1 kHz - 10 GHz,100 dB, 10 kHz - 10 GHz • • NSA 73-2A (1972) - 1 kHz - 1 GHz, 50 dB, 10 kHz - 100 MHz NSA 94-106 (1994) - 1 kHz – 10 GHz, 100 dB, 10kHz – 10 GHz, (replaced NSA 65-6) 10
11
Shielding Effectiveness IEEE STD 299 (1991)
• Frequency range 9 kHz - 18 GHz, (extendable to 50 Hz and 100 GHz) • Developed to replace MIL-STD-285 • Working group actively working on revisions • Standard divided into separate parts for different size enclosures
12
Shielding Effectiveness ASTM E 1851 (1997)
• Frequency bands - 140 - 160 kHz, 14 - 16 MHz, 300 - 500 MHz, 900 - 1000 MHz, 8.5 GHz - 10.5 GHz • Developed by US military shelter manufacturers as replacement for “retired” MIL STD 285 because they felt the proposed replacement, IEEE STD 299, was too complicated
Shielding Effectiveness
13
IEC 61000-5-7 (2001) Installation and mitigation guidelines - Degrees of protection provided by enclosures against electromagnetic disturbances (EM code)
• Frequency range 10 kHz - 40 GHz • Establishes shielding code designation EMABCDEF where ABCDEF indicates 6 frequency bands where a shielding designator value from < 10 dB = 0, to > 100 dB = 9, is assigned

Shielding Effectiveness
• •
German VG 95373-15 (1998)
• Bundeswehr equipment procurement • Frequency ranges: 30 Hz - 3 MHz, 30 MHz - 1 GHz
Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) IPS-TP-212 (1996)
• RF ingress shielding measurement • Frequencies: 54 MHz, 100 MHz, 200 MHz, 400 MHz, 700 MHz, 1000 MHz

Shielding Effectiveness Current Actions of Shielding Component Customers
30 • • • • • • Not only asking for assurances of long term reliability but detailing test protocols to qualify products, e.g., accelerated life testing - high/low temperature cycling, heat/humidity, temperature soak More requesting UL 94 V-0 flammability ratings Increasing amount of individual corporate “Green” initiatives prohibiting certain hazardous substances European Union RoHS requirements Request for detailed elemental composition of materials beyond MSDS details Requests for shielding data against aluminum flanges with trivalent chromate treatment vs. hexavalent chromate
31
Shielding Effectiveness Future Actions of Shielding Component Vendors
• • • Will try to maintain the status quo Will continue to have dwindling involvement in the SE standards development within SAE and IEEE If reverberation chamber shielding test data is necessary, most manufacturers will use outside test labs
