## Soft Version of EccoSorb GDS 

## **SOFTZORB GDS** 

SoftZorb GDS is a softer entry within Laird’s standard EccoSorb  product line. This softer material offers easier deflection for use in cavities whenever a lid may potential contact with and compress the absorber causing possible damage to other components. In addition, Softzorb GDS’ ability to more thoroughly fill the cavity greatly increases absorber performance by limiting leakage around the absorber. 

Softzorb GDS is designed for the frequency range from 18 GHz to 35 GHz expanding from the Softzorb MCS covering frequencies < 18Ghz. 

## **FEATURES AND BENEFITS** 

## **MARKETS** 

- High power performance and high magnetic loss  Datacom/Telecom 

- Low deflection force enabling conformability for  Industrial optimum cavity fill  Consumer 

- Antenna applications minimize reflections in  Automotive transmission lines 

- Useful in challenging compact and high tolerances stack up applications
