Faster installation for shielding gasket strip
Shielding specialist, TBA Electro Conductive Products now offers a beryllium copper (BeCu) gasket strip for narrow gap applications featuring new "Quick-Release" tape backing for faster installation
Stainless-steel mounting gaskets last longer
Shielding specialist, TBA Electro Conductive Products (ECP) has introduced new stainless-steel versions of its low-profile and pressure sensitive mounting gaskets.
Extending across the contact radius of these new symmetrical profile gaskets are slots alternating from one side to the other.
This provides increased strength while maintaining the gasket's flexibility.
The gaskets require only a low closing force while snap-mounting on a track or direct to metalwork provides a secure mechanical assembly.
The new Alternate Slot Gaskets also meet the requirements of the RoHS and WEEE Directives.
Like all TBA ECP's beryllium copper gaskets, the new alternate slot designs are available in a wide range of plating options including clean and bright (unsolderable) as standard, solderable unplated, gold, silver, tin lead, bright tin, bright nickel, zinc/clear chromate and electroless nickel among others.
Beryllium copper shielding strips offer excellent spring qualities and long life.
Other important characteristics include low closing forces and high attenuation exceeding 100dB for many styles.
Complementing its range of beryllium copper shielding strips, TBA ECP also supplies stainless steel versions of its low-profile and pressure sensitive mounting gaskets.
These extend the choice of materials available to design engineers and provide hard-wearing and long-lasting EMI/RFI shielding in a wide range of applications.
TBA ECP's comprehensive range of standard beryllium copper fingerstock delivers cost effective EMI/RFI shielding with high attenuation.
Custom shielding is also available for board-level shielding and connector gaskets.
