Conductive Fabric Over Foam Gaskets Product Overview This product is manufactured from a synthetic polyester or nylon yarn which is plated to give electrical conductivity over the surface of the fibre and then woven in a traditional way so as to produce a conductive cloth. The cloth is then slit and wrapped over a soft polyether polyurethane foam core in a range of profiles and results in an economically priced conformable conductive gasket strip suitable for many applications. Applications The versatility of Conductive Fabric Over Foam and the huge variety of profiles available makes the product suitable for a wide range of applications where full EMC screening is required between component parts especially in high cycling and wiping applications and where low compression and excellent abrasion resistance are considerations. Typical applications include • Cabinet doors. • Panel gaskets. • Grounding contacts. • Card cage gaskets. • Connector and IO gaskets. Availability Profiles are available in 2100mm lengths with some obtainable in continuous length. Depending on the profile the product can be • Cut to length. • Die cut to form fabricated gaskets. • Notched for 90 degree fabrication. • Mitred. • Supplied with clip on and edge mounting or with self-adhesive backing. • Have fire resistant properties to UL94VO. • Compression between 10% and 70%. Design Considerations • Whilst a limited dust seal can be achieved, additional environmental sealing, if needed, is required. • Consideration must be given to compression forces and corrosion compatibility. • Consider the minimum land area on die cut parts, we would suggest that it is equal to the thickness of the material. Production Capability Kemtron holds large stocks of Conductive Fabric Over Foam profiles, which can be supplied to customers off the shelf or die or kiss cut or fabricated to their requirements.
