Energy storage electromagnetic shielding sealing strip

What are EMI shielding strips?

EMI shielding strips (also known as finger strips) are designed to be a low-cost solution for computers, telecommunications and industrial enclosure applications to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) and are applied by sealing gaps in enclosures such as castings, pressed metal enclosures, and electronic cabinets.

What are shielding strips?

Shielding strips consist of a durable and electrically conductive fabric wrapped over a sponge core. Their outer material is highly conductive, typically made from beryllium copper or nickel copper alloy, and provides a high level of electromagnetic shielding. A gold plating is also typically applied to provide a corrosive-resistant finish.

Can conductive elastomers seal a shield?

Suddenly, gas, liquid, or high frequency electromagnetic energy have an easy-access path to your shielding system, which can worsen under high pressure and corrosion. Thankfully, our resilient, conductive elastomers can seal this opening by conforming to surface irregularities in your shield’s enclosure.

What is electromagnetic shielding?

Electromagnetic shielding is a way to achieve EMC compliance and avoid threats such as EMI. EMC is the ability of electrical or electronic devices to function properly in their intended electromagnetic environment, without introducing unwanted electromagnetic disturbance. EMC is a measure of quality and the margins for immunity and emission.

What oriented wire gaskets are used for EMI shielding?

LECTROMETTM ORIENTED WIREElectroMet oriented wire gaskets are EMI shieldi g and sealing composites. Monel® or aluminum wires mbedded in the elastomer and oriented perpendicular to the mating surface provide the EMI sealing. Solid or sponge silicone provides the weather sealing; however, solid silicone weather seals are recommended for h

How does shielding work?

Shielding also works the other way round. It prevents electromagnetic signals and fields from leaving a shielded area. You can protect sensitive information from wiretapping or keep disturbances generated by power generation inside a shielded area to ensure emission limits.
