CHOMERICS Division of Parker Hannifin Corp. Introduces
Corrosion-Resistant Form-In-Place EMI Gasket Material
WOBURN,
MA, February 8, 2007
Chomerics,
a division of Parker Hannifin Corporation (NYSE: PH), announced
the introduction of CHOFORM® 5550 corrosion-resistant form-in-place
gasket material. CHOFORM® 5550 is a one component, thermal
cure, electrically conductive material containing nickel-plated
graphite particles dispersed in a silicone elastomer. The material
is designed for increased flow rates for robotically dispensing
onto metal castings. CHOFORM 5550 gaskets provide excellent
EMI shielding and demonstrate superior galvanic corrosion resistance
when dispensed on bare metal electronics housings, such as base
station PCB covers and other electronic equipment requiring
long service life under harsh, high-demand conditions. |
|
The gaskets provide
shielding effectiveness above 80 dB from 1 to 10 GHz, and are designed
to meet UL 94V-0 flammability requirements. The high shielding effectiveness
and electrical stability of CHOFORM 5550 material has been validated
in severe environments such as urban gas, salt fog, and high temperatures,
as well as in high temperature/high humidity cycling. Test data is
available on request from Chomerics. CHOFORM 5550 gaskets are robotically
dispensed onto customer enclosures or castings and heat-cured at 150ºC
in just 30 minutes, allowing fast handling, quality inspection, and
packaging of dispensed parts.
