Design Considerations for EMI Shielded Combo Strip Gaskets

Design considerations are one of the most important parts of the manufacturing process. When working with modern electronics, engineers and designers must consider EMI and weather sealing for their gaskets.

EMI Shielding

When you need an excellent choice for applications that demand high conductivity, resiliency with sealing solutions of knitted wire mesh, your first consideration should be EMI shielded combo strip gaskets. The most common application for these gaskets is cabinet doors of electronics, telecommunication trailers, and wing panel gaskets. It is also used for EMP specified requirements of EMI and shipboards.

If you think you need an EMI shielded combo strip gasket, there are three major features that you first must consider before making a purchase. Below, we will briefly discuss those considerations. For any extra information on EMI shielding gaskets, you should not hesitate to give our team a call.

  1. There are a variety of elastomers that are available for use. They commonly come in silicon (solid or sponge) or neoprene in a sponge form. To create closure force and fluid resistance, these materials are commonly used. Choosing the right material for your application is an essential consideration.
  2. There is also a broad range of metal alloys. When electrical and galvanic corrosion resistance is important for your electronic device, you must make sure to pick an appropriate metal alloy. Also, metal alloys are considered when creating a budget.
  3. You must choose between bonded and overmolded options. Combo strips are sold in both types. Overmolded gaskets are typically used for wing panel applications.
