About kitagawa industries

: Kitagawa Industries America, Inc. (KGS America), formerly known as Intermark USA, was established in 1990 as the U.S. sales arm of KITAGAWA Industries Co., LTD. KGS America offers a diverse range of products, including EMC solutions (such as EMI absorbers, ferrite cores, shielding components, and grounding parts), thermal interface materials, vibration and shock management gels, and plastic components.

EMI Cable Shielding Solutions

KITAGAWA INDUSTRIES America, Inc. provides extensive EMI cable shielding solutions, including cable shielding jackets (FRCSE, ECBR-AL, and ECBR-CF Series) and wire mesh tape (MT Series). These solutions protect cables from external EMI sources while also providing environmental protection. The standard FRCSE type features a conductive aluminum layer beneath a PVC layer and includes a braided grounding wire throughout the jacket. The double-sided adhesive tape ensures easy and cost-effective installation.

EMI Shielding Materials

KGS America’s EMI shielding materials are essential for sealing or grounding EMC noise, thereby enhancing the long-term reliability of your design. The shielding products include:

  • Electrically conductive fabric-over-foam (FoF) gaskets
  • Conductive EZ foams
  • Shielding tapes (copper, embossed copper, aluminum, and conductive fabric)
  • Cable shielding jackets (adhesive or Velcro closure)
  • Metal mesh tape
  • Thin conductive films (transparent and non-transparent)

Depending on the application, these EMI shields can be used alone or in conjunction with other materials, such as EMI grounding parts or EMI absorbers, typically achieving double-digit attenuation levels.

EMI Shielding Gaskets

KITAGAWA INDUSTRIES America offers a variety of EMI shielding gaskets known for low surface resistance, excellent shielding, and effective electrostatic suppression. The product lines include fabric-over-foam gaskets, carbon rubber gaskets, and conductive cushion gaskets. A notable product is the EZ-Foam™, a thin, cost-effective conductive gasket material ideal for limited space applications like smartphones, tablet PCs, and navigation systems. It ensures no EMI noise leaks out and can be used for grounding and ESD-related purposes.

EMI Shielding Tapes

These tapes, commonly used in EMI labs, come with conductive adhesive offering excellent conformity. Available in copper, aluminum, and conductive fabric, they are suitable for mounting EMI/RFI shields, gaskets, ESD pads, and grounding purposes.

EMI Shielding Films and Sheets

For applications requiring EMI shielding on LCD screens or display windows, KITAGAWA INDUSTRIES America provides transparent EMI window shielding film with adhesive for easy installation. This film is extremely transparent, lightweight, easy to cut, and electrically conductive, making it ideal for EMC and electrostatic discharge of LCD screens, panels, apertures, and other displays. Applications include medical, financial, security, and general electronics.

Ultra-Slim Conductive Film

Kitagawa Industries’ ultra-slim conductive film is perfect for shielding noise on flexible cables and small devices with limited clearance. Made using multi-layer thin film technology, it features excellent heat and chemical resistance due to its PPS film base, and stable performance and corrosion resistance from its multi-layered SUS and Cu construction. This halogen-free and flame-retardant type ensures reliable protection and durability.

KGS America remains committed to providing innovative and high-quality EMC solutions, ensuring your designs meet the highest standards of performance and reliability.
