A wrappable textile sleeve for protecting a conductive elongate member against at least one of EMI, RFI or ESD and method of construction thereof is provided. The sleeve includes a plurality of warp filaments and at least one weft filament woven with one another to form a woven substrate. The woven substrate has opposite sides extending lengthwise between opposite ends. The opposite sides are wrappable about a central longitudinal axis into overlapping relation with one another to circumferentially enclose the elongate member within a cavity of the sleeve. At least some of the warp filaments are provided as generally flat, thin conductive filaments shield the conductive elongate member against the effects of EMI, RFI and/or ESD.

A functional contactor is provided. Provided according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is a functional contactor comprising: a conductor which has elasticity and comes into contact with a conductor of an electronic device; a functional element which is connected to the conductor having elasticity and has a first and a second electrode respectively disposed on at least a part of an upper and a lower surface thereof; and a solder through which a lower surface of the conductor having elasticity is coupled with the first electrode of the functional element. The first electrode includes a first part outwardly extending from the lower surface of the conductor having elasticity along one side surface of the conductor having elasticity, and the solder includes an exposure part formed between the first part and a partial lateral surface of the one side surface of the conductor having elasticity.

An air gap metal tip structure is provided for ESD protection that includes a lower substrate and an upper substrate disposed above the lower substrate. The air gap metal tip structure includes a first and a second metal tip disposed along at least one horizontal axis that is parallel to the upper substrate and the lower substrate. The air gap metal tip structure includes an air chamber formed between the upper and lower substrates within which the first and second metal tips are disposed. The air chamber includes a portion between points of the metal tips. Oxygen trapped in the air chamber is converted into ozone responsive to an occurrence of an arc between the tips to dissipate the arc, and the ozone is decomposed back into the oxygen responsive to an absence of the arc between the tips to maintain the ESD protection for subsequent arcs.
