EMC-shielding material
MU METAL® Magnetic Shield

MU METAL® offers important electromagnetic field shielding characteristics, including very high magnetic permeability - its ability to absorb magnetic energy. The unique properties of this family of alloys results in the highest possible attenuation, making these shielding alloys the materials of choice for reducing low-frequency electromagnetic interference (EMI).

MU METAL® is a trademarked brand of Magnetic Shield Corporation. MU METAL® meets MILSPEC 14411C, composition 1. When the specification or the application calls for a magnetically soft or high permeability material, MU METAL® can frequently be successfully applied.

MU METAL® magnetic shielding prevents magnetic fields from reaching areas where they would cause magnetic interference. Magnetic shielding is used around either the source of interference, to prevent electromagnetic radiation from leaving a device; or more typically, around a sensitive device, to prevent the electro magnetic interference (EMI) from disrupting normal operations.
