WAVE-X

Absorber Solutions Across a Wide Range of Applications

ARC Technologies has extensive experience in state of the art defense and commercial absorber technology. The Wave-X family of products was developed in response to a critical industry need for a simple and reliable EMI solution. ARC engineers recognize that EMI is not a single-source problem; that is why Wave-X has different sizes, features, and formulations. The Wave-X products are capable of attenuating noise from 5MHz to 40GHz and are simple to integrate.

RoHS compliant	All Wave-X products are compliant with the RoHS Directive.
Low outgassing properties	Qualified for space use.

The Wave-X Secret

Wave-X is an effective and reliable solution for EMI and SAR suppression due to its unique formulation. Beginning with our specialized Wave-X fillers, we use the most advanced metallurgical processes, creating highly permeable materials that are precisely designed to disrupt and absorb EMI interference.

The Metallurgy Makes the Difference

ARC’s advanced metallurgical processes allow precise control of particle size and shape of the metal fillers thereby governing the permeability and attenuation properties of our Wave-X products. Because ARC can custom mix the fillers within a variety of substrates, we have created a series of products with the flexibility, elasticity, and tensile strength required for today’s engineering demands.

Product Families

• WX	Specifically designed with high permeability and high temperature resistance
• WK	Ultra thin EMI sheets
• WS	Carbon loaded silicone sheets
• WC	Molded configurations for easy integration
• WE	Extrudable absorbers and suppressors
• WT	Rigid or flexible injection molded absorber structures

Delivered Just the Way You Want It

Wave-X Sheets

Wave-X sheets are extremely thin, flexible, and resilient. Available in a range of thicknesseand permeabilities, these sheets can be cut and fit easily into your existing circuitry to absorb unwanted interference. An option for Wave-X sheets is a peel and stick backing, which makes application simple and easy.

Wave-X Injection Molding and Extrusion

Injection molding is available within the Wave-X product family, which gives you the flexibility to build a reliable and cost-effective EMI absorbing enclosure for troublesome chips and circuits. Most importantly, Wave-X solutions can be extruded directly over wire and cable systems. This makes Wave-X one of the most innovative and customizable solutions for reducing and eliminating excess noise from cables and electronic harnesses. This ability to extrude Wave-X material allows cross-signal contamination from cables to be virtually eliminated. With Wave-X, there is no longer a need to use ferrites or other bulky, unsightly countermeasures. Wave-X can increase production effciency, reduce part content, and ultimately compress the time-to-market cycle for your products.
