Form-in-place EMI shielding gaskets

3 March 2010 Circuit & System Protection

Laird Technologies has announced the addition of three new products to its EMI Sentry form-in-place gasket family.

This gasket family provides EMI shielding while offering heat and humidity resistance, excellent adhesion strength and a minimal compression set. These qualities improve reliability by increasing the durability and longevity of assemblies. In addition, fast handling and rapid curing speed up productivity, while increased softness offers the cost saving advantage of volume dispensing.

The three new gasket products are composed of specially-designed pastes which can be dispensed onto a metal or plastic substrate:

* SNC70-HXP consists of nickel/graphite-filled silicone that cures at HTV (high temperature vulcanisation).

* SNC70-RXP consists of nickel/graphite-filled silicone that cures at RTV (room temperature vulcanisation).

* SNN60-RXP consists of silver/nickel-filled silicone that cures at RTV (room temperature vulcanisation).

The EMI Sentry gasket family is targeted at the handset, base station, military and consumer electronics markets.
