Compact EMC shielding for in-home gas metering systems

Smart gas meters operate in space-constrained enclosures while requiring reliable EMC and RF performance to ensure accurate data transmission. EZi shielding solutions from Harwin provide effective board-level EMC protection without secondary soldering, helping designers maintain compact layouts while improving assembly efficiency and long-term reliability. Reliable shielding is essential to minimise interference, simplify maintenance, and support stable metering performance. 

 

Key Features: 

  • Compact, low-profile EMC shielding for space-constrained designs 
  • No secondary soldering operations, reducing heat damage risk 
  • Removable shield cans for easy rework and maintenance 
  • SMT retention clips supplied tape-and-reel for automated assembly 
  • Flexible can sizes and heights to suit different PCB layouts 

 

Applications: 

  • In-home gas meters 
  • Smart utility metering systems 
  • Compact wireless metering electronics 

Markets 

  • Utility providers
