An EMI suppressor sheet that insures S

clean electromagnetic environments.

The secret of FLEX SUPPRESSOR an EMI suppressor-lies in its structure,
F
where ultra-thin magnetic metal foils on the micron order overlap each other
in the same direction. Because of this unique configuration, FLEX SUPPRESSOR
can suppress noise at a level surpassing that of ferrite-based devices.
FLEX SUPPRESSOR absorbs harmful noises and
converts them into heat to create clean electromagnetic environments.

FLEX SUPPRESSOR is a registered trademark of TOKIN.

The FLEX SUPPRESSOR hold patent number 3641796 and other intellectual
property regarding its structure, manufacturing process and usages.
