Form-in-place gaskets shut out interference
Altocad is a fully automated form-in-place technology from Laird Technologies that provides large (or small) quantities of EMI gaskets at reasonable cost.
With continuing commitment to enhancing the environment all of its fabric-over-foam shields are RoHS compliant and EcoGreen shields exceed the requirement as they are halogen-free (per the IEC61249-2-21 standard).
Not only are EcoGreen gaskets environmentally friendly, they also offer high EMI shielding effectiveness, extremely low compression forces, abrasion resistant metallised fabrics and large service temperature ranges.
The gasket profiles can be cut to specific lengths, kiss-cut or mitered to form frame configurations and are available with a variety of pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) tapes.
"Laird Technologies is introducing this new technology because we are committed to meeting or exceeding necessary agency regulations without compromising product effectiveness", said Joe Chen, Global Product Director.
"We know these environmental regulations are important to our customers; therefore, it is important to us".
Ideal EcoGreen applications include computer servers, desktop or notebook computers, digital cameras, liquid crystal displays, medical equipment, plasma display panels, printers, set top boxes and telecommunications enclosure cabinets.
