cellular PTFE matrix, a conductive pressure sensitive adhesive,

and a PET carrier film (see Figure 1).

Applications

EMI shielding for wireless infrastructure equipment, high

frequency cable connectors, and telecommunications equipment

in addition to portable electronic devices.

Design Considerations

When optimizing a gasket shielding solution, consider the

housing design as well as the EMI gasket performance.

Important considerations in the housing design include flatness,

surface roughness, material type, rigidity, contact area, tolerance

take-up, conductivity, fastener type, and fastener locations.

Key factors in an EMI gasket include softness, tolerance take-up,

conductivity (DC resistance), and shielding effectiveness both

before and after Accelerated Life Testing (ALT).

Gore application engineers can provide expert design assistance

and rapid prototyping for your EMI shielding needs. Contact Gore
