EMI Shielding Combos

EMI shielding is an essential part of all electronic devices. Without this shielding, electronics would continuously be breaking and working poorly. In many cases, this is a minor inconvenience, but at other times, electromagnetic interference can jeopardize a person's life. What would happen if a life-saving piece of medical equipment malfunctioned because of EMI from outside sources?

Shielding EMI, EMI shielding

Electronics that need high resilience, and high conductivity with sealing solutions, and EMI shielding combo might be best for your needs. A shield combo strip gasket is made up of one part EMI shielding and one part weather gasket. Typically, these EMI combos help with applications for:

  • Telecommunication trailers
  • Electronic cabinet doors
  • Wing panel gaskets (protection from lighting)
  • EMP specified requirements
  • Sealing of EMI and shipboard

For EMI shielded combo strip gaskets, there are a few essential things to consider.

Consider the:

  1. Variety of your elastomers: elastomers come in different materials and styles to meet the exact needs of the user. We can work with you based on your closure force and fluid resistance requirements. Elastomers increase the life of a gasket while also reducing the overall ownership cost.
  2. Variety of metals alloys: like elastomer options, users have options for metal alloy used. Each offers its own character traits that help them succeed in certain conditions. Different metals are used to meet the galvanic and electrical corrosion requirements.
  3. Variety of mesh knit layer: different mesh knit layers allow users to meet the exact electrical performance requirements. For instance, most military action requires multiple layers to create maximum protection — the less extreme the application, the fewer layers that will be needed.
