As complexity and functionality increases, there is
a growing need for thinner devices with multiple
antennas, higher data rates and increased operating
frequencies. EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) shields
from TE Connectivity (TE) are stamped one and two-
piece metal cages that help provide isolation of board
level components, minimize crosstalk and reduce EMI
susceptibility without impacting system speed.

ON DEMAND OR AT YOUR COMMAND
Whether you need a custom design or an off-the-shelf solution that is immediately available, we’ve
got you covered. Our new standard BLS portfolio is available in both industry-standard cold rolled
steel (CRS) and aluminum material. Aluminum offers enhanced benefits which include:
Weight Savings
– Aluminum is 1/3 the density of CRS material
while still offering similar EMI suppression
Improved Thermal Conductivity
– Aluminum can provide up to 5 times better
thermal conductivity than CRS
