DC Power Onboard with Newmar offer Copper Strap, Copper Screen, Ground Shoes, and Noise Filters. Grounding Straps are an ideal conductor for RF grounding of SSB radios and other noise sensitive transceivers or bonding of thru-hulls. Ground Shoes provide an excellent noise-free RF ground by making direct contact with water outside the hull. The Noise Filters get rid of electronic noise caused by ignition systems and alternators.

Grounding & Noise Filters
Copper Strap & Copper Screen | Ground Shoes | Noise Filters

Copper Strap
• Ideal conductor for RF grounding of SSB radios and other noise sensitive transceivers or for bonding of thru-hulls, etc.
• Flexible – easily conforms to vessel contours
• .01” (25mm) thick – see matrix for available lengths and widths

Copper Screen
• Tight copper mesh (.05” x .01” wire spacing) ideal for creating a ground plane in hull. Length: 25’; Width: 4’
• May be placed into electronics enclosures to provide an RF barrier.

Noise Filters
The interference or electronic “noise” generated by alternators, ignition systems, motors, etc., can render a vehicle or vessel’s radio or other electronic equipment virtually useless. This interference takes the form of popping or static on radios or audio gear and garbled images or “hash” on video displays.

These specialized filters can be used singly or in combination to attenuate conducted line noise, either at the affected equipment or at the noise source.

Filtered Frequencies
• Model 150A: 70 kHz – 100 MHz
• Models PC-10 and PC-25: Audio – 200 MHz

Filter Features:
• Heavy duty aluminum construction
• Operate on 6-48 VDC systems
• Integral mounting flanges for secure installation
• Brass stud connectors on alternator filters accommodate high current cables and terminals
• Color coded wire leads on all other models make in-line installation easy
