Gaskets close the door to interference
A new range of copper beryllium fingerstock gaskets ease enclosure door EMI problems.
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.
RCC products do not contain beryllium, giving customers who want to avoid the use of beryllium containing metals and certain price increases a choice in alloy selections.
The new metal alloy Laird Technologies comes from two different reliable sources - one in Europe and one in Asia.
Laird Technologies' RCC products are copper-based shielding gaskets that offer a beryllium-free EMI shielding solution for use in a wide range of slotted applications.
RCC material provides better stress relaxation properties than many other solutions available.
RCC's excellent stress relaxation properties allow it to maintain pressure longer at the contact points, resulting in higher end product quality and longer system life spans in multiple industry applications.
"Our goal is to meet our customer's needs by giving them a choice in alloy selection and offering products they want, quickly", says Paul Stus, Global Business Director for the EMI Strategic Business Group.
"We took the 31 most popular standard fingerstock parts constructed from RCC and made them available in two days or less".
"Not only do our customers have an alternative to beryllium, they have the convenience of receiving the products right away - saving time and money".
"Additionally, with one of our distribution partners, Sager Electronics, we increased the availability and service levels for these types of parts".
"These products can be purchased through Sager".
RCC parts are ideal for customers in several industries including telecom, automotive, computer and storage, handsets, medical instrumentation and power supplies.
Prices range from US $0.15 to more than $4.80 each with an average sales price between $0.45 and $0.79.
These prices compare favourably to current BeCu pricing and become even more advantageous as the overall cost for BeCu increases.
