INSTALLATION GUIDELINES Part 1 While OMEGA SHIELDING PRODUCTS offer the finest performance alternatives available today, there are a few simple guidelines to assure proper operation and continued long-term shielding effectiveness. Figure 1 1.Proper Size Determine the correct size of the mounting area. The length can be sized by cutting the strip - a simple pair of scissors will do. Match the gasket's cross-section, in the compressed state, to the width of the available mounting area. See Figure 1. RELAXED COMPRESSED 2.Dynamic Compression Range Each gasket design has a certain compression range or distance. A positive contact force can usually be assured after the gasket has been compressed 25% of the relaxed height and beyond. The gap between mating surfaces shielded by a gasket may vary throughout their length. Be sure to take the largest distance intoconsideration. 3.Attachment Method OMEGA SHIELDING PRODUCTS' standard configurations can be mounted as shown in Figure 2: CLIP - ON INSTANT TAC CONDUCTIVE ADHESIVE 4.Correct Orientation ADHESIVE SOLDER WELD HARDWARE Many of OMEGA SHIELDING PRODUCTS designs depend upon the active contact surface (top) being engaged at, or behind, the cross-section centerline. To assure the proper angle of engagement, follow the guidelines in Figure 3 for best results.
