Laird Technologies Introduces New Environmentally Friendly, RoHS Compliant and Flame Retardant EMI Shield
St. Louis, MO. USA - October 14, 2005
Laird Technologies, the world’s leading designer and manufacturer of electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials, thermal interface products and wireless antenna solutions, today introduced EcoGreen™ EMI shields in response to recent environmental directives such as the European Union’s RoHS and WEEE that restrict the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
Because of Laird Technologies’ continuing commitment to enhancing the environment, all of Laird Technologies’ Fabric-Over-Foam EMI shields are RoHS compliant but EcoGreen shields extend the compliancy because they are halogen-free (per the IEC 61249-2-21 standard).
“Laird Technologies is introducing this new technology because we are committed to meeting or exceeding necessary agency regulations without compromising product effectiveness”, said Joe Chen, global product director. “We know these environmental regulations are important to our customers; therefore, it is important to us.”
Ideal EcoGreen applications include computer servers, desktop or notebook computers, digital cameras, liquid crystal displays, medical equipment, plasma display panels, printers, set top boxes and telecommunications enclosure cabinets.
