This knitted wire technique results in a highly resilient EMI gasket, capable of being compressed over 70% with remarkable recovery. The gasket offers a shielding effectiveness similar to that of a conductive elastomer in a groove-mounting application (Figure 1). Another key feature of SPRINGMESH gaskets is the ability to achieve high deflection under low compressive loading forces (see Figures 2 and 3). Compression set is less than 30% after being deflected as much as 80%. Electrical contact resistance is extremely low, even at low deflection (see Figure 4). SPRINGMESH gaskets are especially suited for applications in die cast commercial electronic housings, such as CATV passive device boxes, which require high levels of shielding at low cost. Compared to stainless steel mesh gaskets, they are far more electrically conductive and offer up to 40 dB more shielding effectiveness. Spring properties are comparable to those of beryllium copper mesh gaskets.
