Eccosorb®MFS High-Loss, Non-Rigid, Magnetically Loaded Stock HIGH-LOSS NON-RIGID ABSORBER Eccosorb MFS is a high-loss stock based on silicone. This product was developed to overcome the physical limitations of rigid high-loss absorbers. Being flexible, Eccosorb MFS can be fitted to compound curves. It has low outgassing properties for space applications. FEATURES AND BENEFITS MARKETS • Flexible structure for improved fit • Low outgassing for space applications • Good adhesion to metals during t° cycling due to elastomeric properties • Commercial Telecom • Security and Defense SPECIFICATIONS TYPICAL PROPERTIES ECCOSORB MFS Frequency Range 1 – 18 GHz Service Temperature °C (°F) Density g/cc 70 10 10 -6 63 x 10 Thermal Conductivity W/mK Water Absorption % 24 Hours 0.865 10 Data for design engineer guidance only. Observed performance varies in application. Engineers are reminded to test the material in application. APPLICATIONS • Eccosorb MFS is engineered for terminations, loads, attenuators in microwave circuits, and in waveguides and transmission systems. • It can be bonded to low-expansion-coefficient ceramics, such as sintered ferrites. AVAILABILITY • Eccosorb MFS is available in two types, Eccosorb® MFS-117 and Eccosorb® MFS-124 • Sheets: 30.5cm x 30.5cm (12” x 12” ) in thicknesses of 0.32cm (1/8”), 0.64cm (1/4”), 1.27cm (1/2”) & 2.54cm (1.0”) • Bars: 30.5cm long (12”) in squares of 0.64, 1.27, 2.54 cm (1/4, 1/2, 1.0”). • It can be supplied with a Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA). • Available in other thicknesses, sizes, and customer specified shapes upon request INSTRUCTION FOR USE Americas: +1.866.928.8181 Europe: +49.(0)8031.2460.0 Asia: +86.755.2714.1166 www.lairdtech.com • Can be cut with a sharp knife, sawed, sanded, and ground to form pyramids, cones and other machines parts. Magnetic holding devices can be used for machine operations. Eccosorb®MFS TEMPERATURE CYCLING Many rigid materials cannot be bonded to metal surfaces and then temperature cycled. Temperature changes break this bond. This is due to the difference in the thermal expansion coefficient between the metal and the load material. Since Eccosorb MFS is a true elastomer, it deforms slightly to accommodate dimensional changes. In addition, a pyramid or wedge of Eccosorb MFS can be bonded over a large area to a waveguide wall to improve heat dissipation.
