General: In many instances electronic
equipment with various indicative type performance or viewing devices, such as
digital read-outs or displays (including touch-screens), require protection
from radiated electrical energy (EMI/RFI).
CSI has developed a wide
range of shielded optical windows which consist of both woven screen laminated
between polycarbonate or glass and knitted wire-mesh homogeneously imbedded in
a clear or colored acrylic substrate. These unique windows are designed to
allow up to 95% clarity in viewing characters or displays while, at the same
time, introducing a high degree of shielding, thus preventing equipment damage
due to impinging radiated electrical energy.
Key Features:
- Windows are
constructed using a full-lamination process that results in the wire mesh being
completely encased. This permits operation under severe environmental
conditions.
- Different wire mesh
patterns and metal alloys allow for a selection of performance characteristics
most suitable to the customer's needs.
- The molded plastic
window substrate can be supplied in several preferred colors for improved
viewing.
- Windows may be mounted
directly to the equipment interface via a conductive gasket and fasteners, or
mounted within a metallic bezel.
