Shielded Windows & Honeycomb Vent Panels

Maintaining Shielding Continuity in Display and Ventilation Openings

A well-shielded enclosure requires dedicated solutions for displays and cooling vents, as any opening can become a source of electromagnetic leakage. At Wave Components, we offer EMI Shielding Windows and Honeycomb Vents from Laird Performance Materials and Andertech. These solutions ensure maximum optical clarity and airflow without compromising the system’s overall shielding effectiveness.

Shielded Ventilation Filters (Honeycomb Vents)

These vents are engineered using “honeycomb” technology, which utilizes the Waveguide Beyond Cutoff principle to block electromagnetic frequencies while allowing free passage for air.

Shielding Performance: The conductive cell structure ensures exceptionally high attenuation across a wide frequency range.
Raw Materials: Available in Aluminum, Steel, or Brass, with various platings (Nickel, Tin, Conductive Anodize) to prevent corrosion.
Andertech Customization: Ability to manufacture panels in custom dimensions, including rigid frames and integrated EMI gaskets (such as conductive foam or elastomers) for fast, leak-proof installation on the enclosure.
Integrated Solutions: Dust filters and protective grilles can be added as part of the finished panel assembly.

EMI Shielding Windows

For monitors, touchscreens, and control panels, we provide transparent windows that integrate active shielding:

Mesh Technology: Embedding an ultra-fine Wire Mesh between layers of glass or polycarbonate. The mesh conducts EMI currents to the enclosure frame without obstructing the display.
Conductive Coatings (ITO): Utilizing a transparent conductive coating of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) for optical shielding in cases where high transparency is required without a visible mesh.
Andertech & Laird Services: Supplying windows with “conductive busbars” or borders that enable continuous electrical connection to the chassis via conductive adhesives or compression gaskets.
