Contact EMC shielding requirements safely

PCB connectors from Weidmüller enable components to be changed quickly and conductors to be connected easily in confined spaces.

Many of these connectors are used in applications where EMC interference sources and sensitive electronics are found in equal measure. Weidmüller has developed a reliable shield connection for this purpose. The pluggable shield support has a special EMC spring contact strip that creates a large-area, permanent and vibration-proof shield connection to the device housing during the plugging process. A plastic housing in the front area makes it difficult to contact the shield support. The Omnimate BVF 7.62 Hybrid connector with direct contacting of a contact surface on the PCB provides a remedy here.
