L-shaped gasket with waterseal

The L-shaped gasket as an efficient combined seal for doors and lids. The gasket is used to achieve two goals at the same time: a water seal and an EMI seal.

This L-shaped gasket is made from a solid piece of neoprene foam. One side has been laminated with conductive textile (the conductive side) and the other side is uncovered neoprene which provides a water seal.

The flange of the door will compress the water-seal side of the gasket with very little force to assure a watertight seal.

The electrically conductive part on the other side of the gasket establishes an electrical connection between the lid and housing

The picture above shows a closed lid with the gasket mounted on the inside of the lid.

The gasket can be supplied in virtually any size. Please specify the size you are looking for by email, or use the contact form on the right side of this webpage.

In the picture above you can see how the gasket can be mounted on the inside of the lid. The L-shaped EMI / RFI-shielding gasket can be mounted with a self-adhesive that can optionally be conductive. When the lid is closed, the electrical contact is shielded from water and dust.
