Gaskets work as a seal between two stationary parts. The seal may provide barriers against fluid ingress or leakage, electrostatic discharge (ESD), electromagnetic interference (EMI), dust, dirt, or ...

Over the last 10 years, there has been a proliferation in the use of conductive fabric-over-foam gaskets for EMI shielding. Advances in plating adhesion, availability of UL 94V-0 flame-rated material, ...

Geometrically, gasket design is a simple task. But for a gasket to perform properly and stand the test of time, material selection is key, even more so than the geometry of the part itself. Here's a ...

For applications requiring ESD grounding, S4503-CON is a closed-cell synthetic-rubber sponge with 500-kW /sq max surface resistivity. It has a compression force deflection of 3 to 7 psi. Sheets are ...
