Gaskets deliver gold-medal EMC performance
New soft gaskets with gold finish deliver attenuation in excess of 100dB across a wide frequency range for applications requiring the highest performance.
Shielding gaskets come to order
The ECP 400 series of soft EMI shielding gaskets can now be supplied cropped to any length up to 2m and in customised format.
The gaskets are ideal for shielding applications where high performance levels over a wide frequency range are required and particularly where low closure forces combine with a requirement for good environmental sealing.
All gaskets feature a self-adhesive strip to aid location and mounting.
A wide range of standard profiles is available in lengths up to 2m encompassing rectangular, flat, square, D-shaped, V-section, clip-on D-shaped, knife-edge, P-shaped, U-shaped, L- or J-shaped, keyhole and circular.
In addition to standard shapes, TBA ECP can provide custom designs with virtually no limitation to the design of the gasket profile and incorporating full or partial wrap of the conductive fabric.
Tailor made die cut shapes in widths up to 150mm can be produced.
Specifications include TPE closed cell foam elastomer (urethane and neoprene available optionally), 10% compression set and temperature range from -40 to +70C.
The elastomer material is also unaffected by salt-spray.
The conductive fabric is woven polyester (non woven option available) with a nickel/copper (Ni/Cu) conductive coating.
Surface resistivity is 0.05ohm/square Offering excellent abrasion resistance, overall shielding effectiveness is 100dB from 30MHz to 10GHz.
