Ultra soft conductive rubber

Standard electrically conductive rubbers are generally not soft enough. As a result, a lot of tension is placed on the seal when tightening the housing or the lid.

For applications where no extreme force is allowed, we have developed ultra-soft conductive rubber.

The material is used in medical, military and automotive industries and even in commercial products requiring EMI suppression, grounding, or static discharge. It is very suitable for applications where an environmental or watertight seal is required and less closure force is required.

The 5200 ultra-soft conductive rubber can be ordered in different thicknesses. We apply several layers of the rubber to get the right thickness.

Standard thickness of the 5200 are 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.2, 3.0, 3.5 and 5.0 mm.
