Conductive elastomer extrusions offer environmental sealing

Laird Performance Materials Electroseal Conductive Elastomer Extrusions, available now from Mouser, offer environmental sealing and excellent mechanical and electromagnetic shielding properties. The shielding system comprises of a conductive gasket sandwiched between a metal housing and lid. The primary function of these gaskets is to deliver sufficient electrical conductivity over the enclosure/gasket/lid junction to satisfy grounding and EMI shielding needs. The conductive elastomer extrusions are excellent for applications that require both environmental sealing and EMI shielding and can be employed in a wide range of operating temperatures. The compounds can be supplied in moulded or extruded shapes, sheet stock, custom extruded, or die-cut shapes to satisfy the broad variety of defence and commercial applications.

The product is available in a wide variety of conductive filler materials with extruded shapes ideal for very narrow mounting surfaces. It offers shielding effectiveness up to 120dB at 10GHz, and there are high corrosion-resistant compounds available.
