3M AB-5000R Series (EM45EP) FFDM Introduction
The 3M AB-5000R Series (EM45EP) is a flexible Flux Field Directional Material (FFDM) designed to manage magnetic flux in RFID, NFC, and Wireless Power applications. Composed of a flexible polyethylene resin with magnetic fillers, this material effectively isolates antennas from metal surfaces, preventing de-tuning and improving performance. Its conformable nature and adhesive backing make it easy to integrate into a wide variety of electronic devices.
3M AB-5000R Series (EM45EP) FFDM Features:
- Material Construction: Made from a flexible polyethylene resin with magnetic fillers for excellent conformability.
- Magnetic Permeability: Features a magnetic permeability of 45 – 50 at the target frequency of 13.56 MHz.
- Easy Application: Comes with a high-performance acrylic Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) for simple peel-and-stick installation.
- Specific Thicknesses: Available in optimized thicknesses, such as the AB-5010R at 0.15 mm and the AB-5020R at 0.2 mm.
3M AB-5000R Series (EM45EP) FFDM Applications:
- RFID/NFC: Designed to de-couple NFC or RFID antennas from metal objects or surfaces, improving tag read range and reliability.
- Wireless Power: Can be evaluated to enhance power transfer efficiency between primary (sending) and pick-up (receiving) antenna coils.
- Payment Systems: Ideal for use in mobile payment terminals and contactless card readers.
