LEADER IN EMI SHIELDING INNOVATION,
SPRINGMESH™ Highly
SPRINGMESH™ knitted wire mesh
technology offers the advantages of a
mesh over elastomer core without the
bulk or expense of a core. 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.
