Shielding for Power meter?
|
Ben Pharr
I have one of N5IB's power meter boards and I'm almost ready to assemble it. What kind of material do I need to shield the SMD section? Some sort of copper foil I'm assuming? Can someone give me some specs? Any suggestions on where I can buy some?
Thanks, Ben WF5N

I don't know if it fits his board, but I made my custom board to use a copper pipe cap from the hardware store,

Copper foil is good, but you can also use tin foil recovered from a beer can (one that is not made from aluminum) Remove the paint and cut it to size with a pair of scissors.

I don't want to speak for him but I think Jim said he didn't notice much

difference with and without the foil. It sure looks cool though. I'd suggest that Hobby Lobby might have copper foil or sheets of proper thickness for the job. 73- Nick, WA5BDU

I used tin plated steel sheet from Hobby Lobby. It cuts easily and solders very well. See attached on right side.

Some of the guitar parts supply places sell an adhesive backed copper foil that is much wider. I bought a roll of 2 3/8" wide foil tape. Great for shielding or for making pcbs from perf board, etc. Even add a side of copper to a single sided pcb.
