This material is intended for use as a gasketing interface to suppress unwanted electromagnetic or radio frequency interference, particularly in applications where inter-cavity shielding is important or compliance is required with international EMC specifications. Design Data EMI gasket performance is crucial for many designs. It is important to note that only relying measuring a low DC resistance value for an EMI gasket will not guarantee a high RF shielding value. This is because several other factors have to be taken into account when designing for a good EMI shield.
Good design needs to focus both on gasket performance and on enclosure performance.
The enclosure performance will rely strongly upon good mechanical design. More information about the risks of relying solely on DC resistance measurements can be found in SAE AIR 1404 and in IEEE Std 1302-1998. Please request our data sheet on how to send CAD files to us. The integral conductive adhesive is an acrylic which is filled with conductive particles to achieve a conductivity level similar to that for the GS5200 gasket material itself. The adhesive is guaranteed for installation for 6 months from the date of shipment of the gasket.
