Copper Diamond Grid Conductive Fabric, Gold – 25 x 25cm

Details

Good for

• RFID-blocking linings for wallets, card holders and passport sleeves
• Faraday-style pouches, bags and small cases
• EMI and RF shielding projects and prototypes
• Conductive surfaces and touch areas in wearable and e-textile projects
• Handbag and bag linings where you want the grid showing

Working with it

Trim it with fabric scissors, fold it, sew it or laminate it. It is flexible but it is a metal fabric, so avoid sharp creasing. Keep it dry when not in use. Shielding and resistance figures are the supplier's ratings, so test it for your own project before relying on it for security.

Pairs well with

• Bondaweb (Vliesofix) to iron the grid onto a lining fabric for wallets and bag linings
• Interfacing samples to give a liner more body
• Stainless steel conductive thread to stitch a connection from the fabric to your circuit
• Copper conductive fabric with adhesive backing for small patches and repairs
• MPR121 capacitive touch sensor and an ESP32 C3 SuperMini to turn grid patches into touch buttons
