Low closure force EMI shielding gasket from Chromerics now available in strip form
SOFT-SHIELD 4850 from Chomerics Europe – a division of Parker Hannifin, is now available in convenient strip form as well as sheet material. SOFT-SHIELD 4850 is an EMI shielding gasket that utilises multi-planar, Z-axis conductive foam technology to help it deliver shielding effectiveness in the range of 70 to 80dB. The material has a lower closure force, lower compression set, and is up to 20% lower cost than fabric-over-foam gaskets.
The material is UL 94 V-0 certified and is ideal for use as a shielding solution in consumer and commercial electronics, telecom and information technology applications such as backplanes, I/O panels, and access panel cabinet seals.SOFT-SHIELD 4850 uses electrically conductive silver plated fibres (no nickel material is used) optimally dispersed within a low density foam to give a cost effective shielding solution with excellent through-resistance and compression set properties.
The convenient, ready to use, pre-cut strips are available in a range of standard widths in 610mm lengths. Custom sizes are available on request. In order to simplify assembly, provide gasket adhesion and optimise electrical interface resistance, SOFT-SHIELD 4850 can be specified with a selectively coated pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA). The roll form material and can be easily and economically converted into profiles applicable for I/O panels, backplanes, connectors and access panels.
SOFT-SHIELD 4850 is fully RoHS compliant and has an operating temperature range of -40ºC to +70ºC.
