What Is LAMINAX™?
LAMINAX™ is manufactured from metal foil and strips. These materials are enclosed within insulating film through a proprietary laminating process. Unlike traditional adhesive-based solutions, LAMINAX™ boasts a bond produced without the need for adhesive. This results in thinner laminates with exceptional dielectric strength.
The Versatility of LAMINAX Products
RFI/EMI Shielding
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radiofrequency interference (RFI) pose significant challenges to electronics. LAMINAX™ is a reliable solution. Its shielding capabilities make it an ideal choice for protecting sensitive electronic components from external interference, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
Winding Conductors
LAMINAX™ is also a powerhouse when it comes to winding conductors. Whether it’s replacing interleaved winding of individual materials or enhancing the efficiency of foil coils, LAMINAX™ offers unparalleled performance and flexibility.
Benefits of LAMINAX™ Products
Sustainability is a top priority in modern manufacturing, and LAMINAX™ meets that standard. It is RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and aligns perfectly with the transformer industry’s green initiatives, ensuring a cleaner, greener future without compromising performance.
Exploring the LAMINAX Family
LAMINAX™ lineup boasts a plethora of options tailored to specific needs:
- B-Series: Revolutionizing the winding process by bonding insulating film on one side of the foil, the B-Series eliminates the need for interleaved winding, streamlining manufacturing processes while enhancing efficiency.
- BM-Series: By bonding multiple parallel foil or strip conductors onto a common backing film, the BM-Series opens up new possibilities in transformer design, offering unmatched versatility and performance.
- C-Series: Partially enclosing metal foil or strip in insulating film, the C-Series provides a range of bonding configurations, making it a go-to choice for shields in toroidal transformers and winding conductors in foil coils.
- EB-Series and EC-Series: These series replace interleaved winding with various bonding configurations, providing a balance of performance and cost-effectiveness to meet a variety of application requirements.
- J-Series: The J-Series bonds and folds plain film around the metal foil, sealing it with a strip of bonding tape. This innovative design ensures easy removal when required, streamlining maintenance and repair processes.
Meeting Diverse Needs
LAMINAX™ RFI/EMI shielding tape and flat winding conductors cater to a range of industries, such as:
