DATASHEET WAVEBLOCKER GAP FILLER WAVE ABSORBING GAP FILLING PADS The new Aavid WaveBlocker has a high electromagnetic wave permeability allowing it to absorb EM wave interference. It's EM absorbing capacity ranges from 10MHz to several GHz. Due to this unique feature, Aavid WaveBlocker pads are ideal for negating problems associated with the noise of EM waves and heat radiation. These pads and sheets are RoHS compliant, halogen free and free from environmentally hazardous substances. SIZES Aavid WaveBlocker Thermal Interface Pads are available in full 400mm x 200mm sheets that Aavid can cut and shape to suit your needs. They are also available in easy to use 25.4mm x 25.4mm (1"x 1") and 76.2mm x 76.2mm (3"x 3") pads for quick and simple assembly. PART NUMBERS FEATURES: - Radio Wave Absorption Flexible, Easy Contouring Double-Sided Adhesion Halogen Free Puncture, Shear and Tear Resistant Part Numbers for Aavid Gap Pads are made up of six sections represent the product, thickness, adhesion and shape. Instructions on how to build your part numbers are available in the document Building an Aavid Gap Pad Part Number.
