Hybrid fingerstrips

Many countries currently prohibit or may prohibit beryllium in the future. This poses a challenge, as beryllium is used to create contact fingers with a high spring rate. As an alternative to BeCu fingers, we have developed a hybrid solution: flame-retardant plastic with a highly conductive layer. They provide high EMI/RFI-shielding effectiveness in enclosure applications where extremely low closure forces are required. High conductive textile, amucor and copper can be used as cover material.

Optional is that the width of the hybrid fingerstrips can be cut in the desired width and the product can be fabricated with self-adhesive, screwing holes or a clamped construction. The standard dimension of the strip is 1 meter but can be cut to the desired width that you need. In contrast to the BeCu Fingerstrips, we can adjust the shape to your wishes.
