Product Description

3M™ EMI Absorber AB7000E Series is a flexible magnetic EMI absorber sheet for helping suppress near-field noise from 300 MHz to 4 GHz, with a target range of 800 MHz to 2.5 GHz. The absorber uses a polymeric resin filled with magnetic flakes and is offered with an optional non-conductive acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive. Four magnetic-layer thicknesses from 0.10 to 0.50 mm are available in adhesive-backed and -WO configurations. The documented temperature range is -25°C to 105°C, with end-use environmental verification required.

Key features

  • Frequency coverage: Operating frequency range of 300 MHz to 4 GHz with a target range of 800 MHz to 2.5 GHz.
  • Magnetic absorber construction: Polymeric resin with magnetic flake filler for near-field EMI absorption.
  • Adhesive options: Available with optional non-conductive acrylic PSA or in -WO versions without adhesive.
  • Thickness options: Magnetic-layer thicknesses of 0.10, 0.20, 0.30 and 0.50 mm across the series.
  • Shelf life: 18 months from manufacture in original packaging at 21°C (70°F) and 50% relative humidity.

Applications / Suitable for

  • Mobile phones, computers, tablets and measurement devices
  • Displays, camera modules, antenna-ground areas and sensors
  • Cable wraps and electronic equipment for automobile applications

3M™ EMI Absorber AB7000E Series

3M™ EMI Absorber AB7000E Series is a flexible magnetic sheet for helping suppress near-field EMI noise from 300 MHz to 4 GHz. A polymeric resin loaded with magnetic flakes forms the absorbing layer, with optional non-conductive acrylic PSA for direct placement. Four magnetic-layer thicknesses and adhesive-free -WO variants support evaluation across compact electronic assemblies.

Sheet format
210 × 297 mm
Supplied on a removable blue PET release liner to support handling and die-cutting.
Application setup

Design and placement evaluation

AB7000E performance is application-dependent. Evaluation should account for the target frequency, absorber thickness, XY coverage, orientation and location in the end-use assembly.

Start with maximum practical coverage: Initial evaluation can use the greatest thickness allowed, the largest practical XY area and multiple candidate locations or parts to establish a baseline.
Tune after the baseline: Once performance is established, reduce or adjust absorber shape, location and amount to determine the material needed for the application requirement.
Verify the final layout: Permeability and magnetic loss vary with frequency, while thickness, orientation and location affect interaction with the electromagnetic field.

Storage and Handling

Shelf life is 18 months from the date of manufacture when the material is stored in its original packaging at 21°C (70°F) and 50% relative humidity.

In-use evaluation

Typical performance properties

Published technical values are representative or typical unless otherwise stated and should not be treated as guaranteed product specifications.

Property Value Unit Method / condition
Operating frequency range 300 MHz to 4 GHz Product operating range.
Target frequency range 800 MHz to 2.5 GHz 3M identifies this as the target or optimal range for peak performance.
Electrical resistivity 1 × 106 Ω·m ASTM D257 type test method.
Typical permeability at 3 MHz 100 μ′ Representative or typical value; permeability can vary with test method and equipment.
Temperature range -25 to 105 °C Based on general environmental characteristics of the polymer binder resin; verify temperature and environmental performance in the end-use configuration.

Series configurations

AB7000E variants use the same magnetic absorber family with different magnetic-layer thicknesses and adhesive configurations. -WO identifies versions supplied without the acrylic PSA layer.

AB7050E-WO 0.50 ± 0.05 mm N/A 0.50 ± 0.05 mm Without adhesive

Thickness data are representative or typical. Total thickness is shown separately from magnetic-layer and PSA thickness so adhesive-backed and -WO constructions are not treated as equivalent.

Potential use cases

Applications

3M identifies the following as potential application areas for AB7000E. Final effectiveness depends on the target frequency, thickness, part size, orientation and location in the end-use assembly.

Mobile and computing electronics
Potential applications include mobile phones, computers, tablets and measurement devices. The 300 MHz-4 GHz operating range and selectable magnetic-layer thicknesses provide options for evaluating localized near-field EMI control in space-constrained assemblies.
Displays, camera modules and sensors
3M lists displays, camera modules and sensors as potential uses. Adhesive-backed or -WO configurations allow placement to be adapted to module construction, with final performance verified at the intended orientation and location.
Cable wraps and antenna-ground areas
Potential uses include cable wraps and antenna grounds. The flexible sheet and removable liner support shaped placement, while thickness, XY coverage and location can be tuned during end-use evaluation.
