Clip-on gasket all shapes

This easily mounted clip-on gasket is composed of two layers: a sponge rubber water seal, and an EMI-shielding side of highly conductive, wear-resistant metalized fabric. The gasket is very flexible due to the hollow rubber, ensuring a low closure force. The gasket is assembled without tools, simply by manually pressing the section onto the metal flange of your enclosure. Different sizes are available on request. The gasket can be bent in either direction (it can not be bent into a right angle, but it can form a rounded corner with a very small radius). Temperature ranges from -40 to +110 °C. A flame retardant version (UL94 V0) is also available.

Shielding performance

Shielding effectiveness depends on the surface, the shape of the gasket, and the materials used.

Please note: These values are measured under laboratory conditions. Results may vary in other situations; please read our Guarantee.

Temperature resistance

An EPDM core with an operating temperature up to 100 °C and good resistance to UV, water, and acids make the clip-on shielding gaskets the right choice for outdoor applications.

Applications

Special shapes and materials excel in dynamic or high cycling applications such as Faraday cage doors or access panels with low compression rates and very limited compression set.

Available versions

The clip-on range comes in three flavors:

• Type W series (Clip-on shielding gasket with water seal)
• Type F series (Fully wrapped EMI/RFI-shielding gasket)
• Type H series (For heavy-duty applications, for example, military)

Type W series

(Clip-on shielding gasket with water seal)

The type W clip-on gasket series has been specially designed to provide environmental (water) sealing as well as EMI shielding for outdoor electronics and telecom cabinet manufacturers. The conductive textile is wrapped around one half of the gasket, dividing it into two parts: one part for electrical conductance and EMI shielding (made of highly conductive textile), and the other part for water sealing. The half-wrapped conductive textile provides over 96 dB of broadband noise attenuation which is crucial for mid- to high-range shielding applications.

Type F series

Fully wrapped EMI/RFI-shielding gasket)

The type-F clip-on gasket series has been specially designed to provide both EMI shielding and electrical conductivity. The conductive textile is wrapped around the entire gasket, resulting in higher shielding performance than type W (half-wrapped version) - only at the expense of water resistance.

Type H series

(For heavy-duty applications, for example, military)

 

The type H clip-on gasket series has been specially designed for heavy-duty applications; in addition to EMI shielding, it also provides low-frequency magnetic shielding. The type H series is covered with highly conductive metal cladding that is outdoor proof and suited for harsh environments, making this gasket type suitable for military, medical and all other applications were high demands are made on the EMI shielding in the magnetic low-frequency area.

Conductive flexible edge protector

The gasket is designed to slide easily over metal flanges to help reduce installation costs and is a good choice for retrofit applications.

Applications

• Connecting plates
• ESD (static discharge)
• EMI shielding

Benefits

• Easy gasket installation
• Resistance to heat, humidity, salt fog, corrosion and rain

* The red line is an indication of the conductive layer.

Sealing section

This combination of materials decreases the number of gaskets needed per cabinet. This makes the sealing section an economic solution for application where an environmental seal as well as EMI shielding is needed.

Features

• High-performance solution
• Very cost-efficient solution

* The red line is an indication of the conductive layer.

Conductive edge protector

This is a very rigid profile, used to protect sharp edges from damaging and still preserve the electrical conductance. This type is also suitable for connecting two steel plates or for static discharge.

* The red line is an indication of the conductive layer.

Dynamic section

Simple clip-on installation for door jambs and similar needs, edge mounts, low and high deflection.

For applications where a small dynamic range is required and a clip-on mounting is preferred. Mounts simply by
pressing into position.

The gasket comes with retaining lances lo lock into the desired position.

Silicone clamp section

Optional with stainless steel interior.
Braiding options possible with monel, stainless steel 316, tcs or aluminum on request.
