EMI Shielding Materials

TE Connectivity's (TE) knitted wire mesh gaskets provide a cost-effective solution to deliver high shielding performance. The mono-filament interlocking-loop construction gives strength while allowing it to conform to almost any size or shape. The manufacturing process allows for an optional elastomer core to be included in the product to aid compression. Solid knitted mesh gaskets provide an excellent EMI/RFI/EMP gasket shield between two metallic surfaces, and the choice of wire mesh material allows for a good galvanic match with mating flanges, thereby limiting the possibility of corrosion between gasket and flange.

Benefits

• Solid knitted mesh gaskets allow for a good galvanic match with mating flanges, limiting the possibility of corrosion between gasket and flange
• Optional elastomer core of the gasket allows it to be compressed using low to medium force, conforming to uneven surfaces and recovering well after use
• Low compression force allows for use where reported opening and closing operations are necessary
