- I Typically requires <1 lb/inch (0.175Typically requires <1 lb/inch (0.175 N/mm) closure force – 5 times lower than other gaskets 

SOFT-SHIELD 5000 Series EMI gaskets consist of an electrically conductive fabric jacket over a highly compressible foam core. The nickel-plated-silver woven nylon rip-stop jacket is self-terminating when cut. Chosen for its exceptional compressibility, the foam core typically requires less than 1 lb/in (0.175 N/mm) closure force, making it especially useful for thin-walled plastic enclosures. 

   - I Cost-effective 

   - I Custom lengths available 

- I >90 dB attenuation from 20 MHz to 10 GHz 

   - I Alternative to BeCu fingerstock gaskets 

- I Asymmetrical profiles as well as “C”, “V”, “P”, “D” shapes* 

   - I Pick and place installation available 

   - I Technical application support 

- I Self-terminating fabric jacket 

   - I Global distributor/fabricator network 

- I No performance degradation after 10,000 compression cycles
