Press Release Summary:
SOFT-SHIELD® 7000 gaskets combine highly conductive, plated cloth wrapper, polymeric foam core, and high temperature, pressure sensitive adhesive. They provide more than 90 dB of EMI attenuation from 20 MHz to 10 GHz., and they are UL 94V-0 flammability rated. Gaskets demonstrate minimum compression set at temperatures to 125°C over long operating periods, and have no performance degradation after 10,000 compression cycles.
Original Press Release:
High Performance Fabric Over Foam EMI Gaskets Meet Demanding Shielding Requirements
DECEMBER 19, 2002, WOBURN, MASSACHUSETTS -- Chomerics, a division of the Parker Hannifin Corporation, has introduced an optimized version of its SOFT-SHIELD® conductive fabric-over-foam EMI gaskets to meet the most demanding application needs. New SOFT-SHIELD 7000 EMI gaskets feature the industry's only non-urethane soft foam core materials that provide high levels of shielding and long-term physical stability.
High performance SOFT-SHIELD 7000 gaskets combine a highly conductive, plated cloth wrapper, customized polymeric foam core, and high temperature pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA.) They provide more than 90 dB of EMI attenuation from 20 MHz to 10 GHz., and they are UL 94V-0 flammability rated. SOFT-SHIELD 7000 gaskets maintain their physical and mechanical integrity in high operating temperatures for a service life exceeding 10 years. They demonstrate minimum compression set at elevated temperatures (+125°C) over long operating periods, and have no performance degradation after 10,000 compression cycles.
SOFT-SHIELD 7000 gaskets come in standard lengths and cut-to-length strips in a wide variety of cross sections. They can be die-cut and kiss-cut to custom fit on electronic enclosure hardware as one-piece gaskets. Their self-terminating cloth jackets have no sharp edges in contrast to metal fingerstock or wire mesh gaskets. The new gaskets are also available on sheets as convenient peel-and-stick grounding buttons. The 7000 series gaskets are priced around $1.00 per foot in standard cross sections.
The Chomerics SOFT-SHIELD family provides the widest range of price-performance choices in fabric over foam EMI gaskets. For more information, visit www.chomerics.com.
