Background
SOFT-SHIELD 5000 Series gaskets offer a low cost and high performance EMI gasketing solution for commercial electronic systems. The high reliability conductive fabric over foam core construction provides a cost effective alternative to beryllium copper or stainless steel fingerstock EMI gaskets. Applications for these conductive fabric over urethane foam core gaskets include; commercial electronic enclosures, medical electronics and general industrial applications. The variety of available cross-section profiles allow for very low closure forces, thus offering a minimization of the number of necessary fasteners for easy, user friendly installation, without an effect on shielding effectiveness. Cut-to-length strips of gasket are self terminating thereby enhancing the reliability of the application. The urethane foam core has excellent compressibility making the gasket material especially attractive for thin-walled plastic enclosures. Gaskets are offered standard with a UL 94 V-0 flammability rating.
