Customer Value Proposition: MESH STRIP gaskets are cost effective, resilient, highly conductive, knitted wire mesh strips used to provide electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, electromagnetic pulse (EMP) shielding and electrical grounding at the joints and seams of a variety of enclosure applications. To reduce application design time, tooling charges and lead times, MESH STRIP gaskets are produced in a variety of standard cross sectional geometries and wire mesh alloys to meet a wide array of performance criteria. For unique application requirements, custom materials and profile geometries are available upon request. To ensure quick and easy integration into any manufacturing environment, without the need for additional capital expenditures, material can be provided in spooled, cut-to-length, or spliced gasket forms and affixed utilizing welding, adhesive spot-bonding, soldering or riveting. Features: • Monel, Ferrex* and aluminum are standard alloy choices, with custom wire material available upon request • Rectangular, round, round with fin and double round are standard cross sectional geometries, with custom geometries available upon request • High metal content • Knit construction • Multiple gasket form-factors and installation options • Foreign object debris (FOD) free version available upon request Contact Information: Parker Hannifin Corporation Chomerics Division 77 Dragon Court Woburn, MA 01801 phone 781 935 4850 fax 781 933 4318 [email protected] Benefits: • Various metal alloy offerings allow for optimized performance variables such as galvanic corrosion, EMI / EMP attenuation, electrical conductivity and temperature range • Numerous standard geometric offerings ensure easy gasket integration into existing applications, thereby eliminating the need for redesign • High metal content gaskets are highly durable and silicone-free, making them an excellent choice for applications with either silicone outgassing sensitivity or temperature requirements which exceeds that of typical silicone-based EMI / EMP seals • Knitted wire construction results in a light-weight product offering for applications with weight restriction requirements • Multiple gasket form factors and attachment methods allow for easy incorporation into existing manufacturing installation environments without the need for capital expenditures • Encapsulated ends ensure the elimination of foreign object debris and associated rework costs. * Ferrex is Parker Chomerics tradename or tin-plated, copper-clad steel wire per ASTM B-520, ASTM (QQ-W-343) tin-plated, 2-3% by weight; ASTM B-227 copper-cladding 30-40% by weight; SAE 1010 steel wire, balance by weight and is the same as Tecknit Su/Cu/Fe which it replaces. www.chomerics.com www.parker.com/chomerics Chomerics ENGINEERING YOUR SUCCESS.

Application Design Information: Parker Chomerics MESH STRIP gaskets are used to provide EMI/EMP shielding and lightning grounding performance for a variety of applications. Various design variables should be considered when making a product selection to ensure optimal performance. These variables are expanded upon in the following text to assist in the design process. Material Type MESH STRIP gasketing is offered in monel, Ferrex and aluminum alloys as standard offerings, with custom materials being available upon request. When making a material selection, a number of variables should be taken...

Geometric Profile For MESH STRIP products, round, rectangular, double round and round with fin are standard profiles. After the aforementioned mounting criteria are evaluated, the final decision regarding the geometric gasket profile to be incorporated into the design is related to size. Gasket size selection is a balance between available space in the application, the force available for gasket deflection and the tolerances associated with the application. The larger the gasket, the less effect tolerance variations have on gasket deflection percentage. This will mitigate gasket under or over-deflection....
