FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Electri-Flex Releases SHIELD-FLEX™ EMI/RFI Shielding Conduit Catalog

Electri-Flex Company has released a new catalog featuring the SHIELD-FLEX™ line of EMI/RFI Shielding conduits. SHIELD-FLEX™ represents a line of three shielded conduits, SLA™, EMS™ and EMCS™. This line of conduits is designed to protect sensitive electronic circuits from electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) in applications such as communications, radar and data transmission. These products accept industry standard liquidtight metallic connectors that address the problems of assembly and grounding. All versions can be manufactured with halogen-free jacketing material, using a HF prefix.

The SHIELD-FLEX™ line protects against EMI/RFI interference in three levels of protection:

· Good Shielding: Type SLA™, UL Listed, is a flexible steel conduit with a galvanized steel core, over which a tinned copper shielding braid is applied. The outer jacket is flexible PVC with a temperature rating of -20° to 60° C while the braid offers a minimum of 90% shielding coverage.

· Better Shielding: Type EMS™ offers a better shielding effectiveness than Type SLA with a temperature rating of -55° C to 105° C. EMS features a flexible core constructed of a helically wound, fully interlocked strip of bronze. An all-temperature PVC jacket is extruded over the core, resulting in a sealed, waterproof raceway when assembled with liquidtight metallic fittings.

· BEST Shielding: Type EMCS™ is a hybrid of SLA and EMS because it utilizes the same bronze core and PVC jacket as EMS but gets further screening protection from a tinned copper braid as found in the SLA product. Type EMCS offers the same working temperatures as EMS.
