Hi everyone,
I have a system with several PCBs in it.There is an power distribution board in the system and I don't want noise coupling to my power lines. I am planing to use shield around wires. However I am not sure where and how to connect shield on the PCB. I have 2 gnd connections for every connector. So I am planing to use them like this, correct me If I wrong?
- I will use one of the ground connections for shieding and I'll connect it to the ground on only power distribution PCB, I won't connect it to the other PCB to prevent ground loops.
- I guess I don't have to use ferrite beads(like in the ethernet connections) to connect shield connection to ground since the wires carry only power ?
- My system has a metal enclosure, so the shield shouldn't touch this enclosure, right? I will use heat shrink tubes to isolate them.
Thanks in advance and forgive me If I am talking gibberish.
