Ultra-Vanshield=AE=20 RFI/EMI dual elastomer shielding=20 gaskets

The challenge for the RFI/EMI industry = has been to=20 create a highly conductive shielding gasket that maintains its = mechanical=20 integrity long-term. Dual Elastomer ULTRA-VANSHIELD=AE=20 is definitively the unique solution to this=20 problem.

Silver-filled elastomers have long been = used for=20 shielding against electromagnetic interference and radio frequency = signals.=20 Silver was chosen since it is an excellent conductor and is one of the = few=20 materials that can be put into a rubber matrix while retaining its=20 conductivity.

Each style incorporates design = features not=20 commonly found in other forms of shielding gaskets. Some of the more = important=20 advantages to consider are:

However, standard silver-filled = elastomers have=20 intrinsic problems. Typically, the percentage of silver in the elastomer = is=20 extraordinarily high =96 as much as 70% by weight. At these = concentrations, the=20 elastomer matrix loses most of its desirable physical = attributes.

The result is neither the desired = metallic nor=20 elastomeric properties, but rather a compromise between both. For this = reason,=20 conventional silver-filled elastomers have poor physical properties; = i.e. low=20 tear resistance and tensile strength along with inordinately high = compression=20 forces.

	Conductive plastic enclosure=20 seam	Electrostatic discharge=20 (ESD)
.1	The gasket=92s = =93compressed=20 configuration=94 is important to consider,
