Apparent opposites: conducting or shielding
Relays are mechanical components which, next to connectors, have to be made of materials of the highest standard. Their moving parts must maintain
To meet these standards the materials must have little relaxation, high electrical conductivity and strength as well as good forming properties, such as K88.
Electromagnetic radiation can adversely affect the information processing in electronic components. Miniaturized components in particular need to be protected against
This is achieved by shields (see photo on the top right and bottom left) based on the principle of the Faraday cage.
Nickel silver alloys such as N18 are particularly suitable due to their good soldering properties and corrosion resistance and are used in thicknesses ranging between 0.1 and 0.4 mm.
