SOFT EMI SHIELDING GASKETS FROM TBA ECP DELIVER HIGH PERFORMANCE - 05/10/2002

The latest soft gaskets from EMI shielding specialist, TBA Electro Conductive Products deliver attenuation in excess of 100dB across a wide frequency range for applications requiring the highest performance.

The ECP 400 soft EMI shielding gaskets comprise a conductive fabric bonded over a soft non-wicking thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) closed cell foam. The gaskets are ideal for shielding applications where high performance levels over a wide frequency range are required and particularly where low closure forces combine with a requirement for good environmental sealing. All gaskets feature a self-adhesive strip to aid location and mounting.

A wide range of standard profiles is available in lengths up to 2m encompassing rectangular, flat, square, D-shaped, V-section, clip-on D-shaped, knife-edge, P-shaped, U-shaped, L- or J-shaped, keyhole and circular. In addition to standard shapes, TBA ECP can provide custom designs with virtually no limitation to the design of the gasket profile and incorporating full or partial wrap of the conductive fabric. Tailor made die cut shapes in widths up to 150mm can be produced.

Specifications include TPE closed cell foam elastomer (urethane and neoprene available optionally), 10% compression set and temperature range from -40 to +70 Degrees C. The elastomer material is also unaffected by salt-spray. The conductive fabric is woven polyester (non woven option available) with a nickel/copper (Ni/Cu) conductive coating. Surface resistivity is 0.05Ω/sq. Offering excellent abrasion resistance, overall shielding effectiveness is 100dB from 30MHz to 10GHz.

TBA Electro Conductive Products is a specialist manufacturer of high quality electro static protection (ESP) and electro magnetic interference (EMI) shielding products. The EMI shielding range includes an extensive portfolio of gaskets and gasketing materials, metal foil tapes, shielded windows and mesh products, vent panels and shielded fan vents.
