Made-in-USA Military EMI Shielding for Mission-Critical Applications
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding is crucial for the effectiveness and integrity of defense systems. As military Technology advances, the reliance on electronic systems for navigation, communication, and weaponry has increased. EMI shielding protects sensitive equipment from external electromagnetic interference, ensuring operational reliability in environments like combat zones where EMI disruption can compromise mission success and endanger lives. At XGR Technologies, we provide SnapShot® EMI shields, proudly made in the USA, to meet the uncompromising demands of military environments. With a focus on quality, durability, and performance, these shields are crafted to ensure the highest standards in manufacturing and compliance. From communication devices to navigation systems, SnapShot® EMI shields deliver reliable EMI protection for critical military assets, reinforcing the resilience of the US defense framework.
Why Choose SnapShot® Military EMI Shielding?
SnapShot® EMI shields have been successfully deployed in the most demanding military environments for over 20 years. They offer unparalleled shielding effectiveness, flexibility, and durability, making them ideal for safeguarding critical defense electronics like military radios, drones, avionics, and more from EMI. XGR Technologies SnapShot® EMI shields are widely chosen in military applications due to the following reasons:
- Proven Performance in Harsh Environments: XGR Technologies’ SnapShot® EMI shields are designed to excel in challenging environments. Built with a unique metalized plastic material, these shields are proven to withstand extreme conditions, meeting rigorous military testing standards such as:
- Mechanical Shock (JEDEC JESD 22-B104-B)
- Thermal Shock (MIL-STD-883E Method 1010.7B)
- Vibration (IEC 60068-2-64)
- Superior Shielding Effectiveness Across Frequencies: These USA-made SnapShot® shields deliver excellent shielding effectiveness across a wide frequency range - below 1 GHz up to 18 GHz. The non-conductive polyetherimide interior and conductive tin-plated exterior provide robust shielding while minimizing electromagnetic coupling risks, supporting secure communication even in highly active EMI environments.
- Flexible, Lightweight, and Space-Saving Design: Every ounce matters in military applications. SnapShot® EMI shields are up to 90% lighter due to their thin, polyetherimide film construction than stainless-steel shields. This ultra-lightweight solution helps reduce overall equipment weight—a key advantage in aviation, unmanned vehicles, and portable communication systems. Additionally, their compact, and low-profile design saves valuable PCB real estate, accommodating more components without compromising shielding effectiveness.
- Customizable, Multi-Cavity Shields for Complex Designs: Every military application has unique requirements. The USA-made SnapShot® EMI shields are highly customizable, fitting any board layout with features like multi-cavity capability, various shapes, and optional perforations for heat dissipation. This flexibility enables precise shielding that integrates seamlessly into complex military systems without compromising PCB layout or function.
- Rapid Deployment and Integration: Time is of the essence in military operations. SnapShot® EMI shields can be installed post-reflow, allowing for a thorough inspection before final assembly through a unique solder sphere attachment method. They can be removed and replaced without damaging components, facilitating quick maintenance and reducing downtime. This user-friendly design streamlines the repair and rework process, minimizing the risk of costly delays.
In addition, the EMI shields ensure reliable performance under mechanical stress, thermal cycling, and environmental aging. Adherence to military testing standards and superior performance in challenging conditions, ensure superior shielding for sensitive military electronics that could compromise communication or disrupt operations.
Key Military Applications Using SnapShot® EMI Shields
SnapShot® EMI shields are used in a wide range of military applications, including
- Military Drones: Drones are unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) used to perform tasks, such as reconnaissance, surveillance, precision strikes, and target acquisition. SnapShot® EMI shields offer EMI/RFI protection. This shielding enhances operational efficiency by improving communication reliability, safeguarding critical board systems, and preserving navigation accuracy.
- Military Handheld Radios: SnapShot® EMI shields ensure uninterrupted communication through military handheld radios by blocking unwanted EMI from critical circuits. This reliability is crucial during missions where coordination among personnel is essential.
- Weapons Systems: Precision and reliability are key requirements of weapon systems. SnapShot® EMI shields protect sensitive electronics from electromagnetic threats to maintain system integrity and accuracy.
- Avionics and Navigation Systems: Accurate navigation is essential for success of military missions. SnapShot® EMI shields safeguard flight control and navigation equipment from disruptive interference, enhancing aircraft safety and reliability.
- Control Panels in Military Vehicles: SnapShot® EMI shields help prevent system resets, equipment malfunctions, and communication failures by ensuring stability and reliability.
