Parker Chomerics SOFT-SHIELD® Conductive Foam-Based Gaskets
Parker Chomerics SOFT-SHIELD® Electrically Conductive Foam-Based Gaskets are ideal for medical electronics, commercial electronic enclosures, and other general industrial applications. The SOFT-SHIELD 3500, 3700, and 4850 electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding gaskets provide a cost-effective solution with low compression force. Two types of gaskets are available. The first type features a conductive fabric wrapped around non-conductive low-density foam, and the second type uses silver-plated fibers knitted into low-density foam. Both types are designed for EMI shielding and grounding applications that do not require a weather seal and provide long-term reliability. Parker Chomerics SOFT-SHIELD Electrically Conductive Foam-Based Gaskets comply with RoHS/REACH requirements and have a UL 94V-0 flammability rating.
