Soft-Shield® Low Closure Force Gaskets
Soft-Shield® Low Closure Force Gaskets help enclosure sealing
Electronics require Soft-Shield® low-closure force gaskets of fabric over foam core EMI shielded gasket materials.
Soft-Shield® gaskets offer EMI shielding performance and low closure force gasket solutions.
SOFT-SHIELD® 5000 Series EMI shielded gaskets consist of an electrically conductive fabric jacket over a highly compressible urethane foam core. The Nickel-plated, woven nylon rip-stop jacket is self-terminating when cut, and is chosen for its excellent compressibility. The foam core typically requires less than 1 lb/in (0.175 N/mm) closure force, making it useful for thin-walled plastic enclosures. Standard pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes (PSA) make SOFT-SHIELD® 5000 gaskets a user friendly cost-effective design solution.
SOFT-SHIELD 5000 Series can be provided in a General Duty version or a UL 94V-0 rated version, with no performance difference.
