SOFT-SHIELD® 4800 Multi-planar EMI Gaskets

SOFT-SHIELD® 4800 Multi-planar conductive Z axis foam EMI gaskets represent Chomerics newest innovation in soft foam based EMI shielding technology. The unique integration of electrically conductive fibers into low density foam provides the basis for a performance driven, cost effective EMI shielding solution. Through the optimization of conductive fiber construction, loading and dispersion within the foam matrix, Soft-Shield 4800 provides superb Z axis conductivity with extremely short ground paths. Since the integrity of the base foam is uncompromised, Soft-Shield 4800 offers exceptional physical and mechanical properties. Soft-Shield 4800 is manufactured in rolls and is easily converted into product forms applicable for I/O panels, backplanes, connectors, access panels along with rectangular/ square strip gasket seals.

FEATURES/BENEFITS

- Very low closure force
- Stable electrical performance (through resistance) after multiple closure cycles
- Excellent through resistance (< 10 milliohm @ 50% gasket deflection)
- Option of unique selectively coated PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive) optimizes gasket adhesion and electrical interface resistance.
- Excellent compression set properties
- Non-nickel bearing material (silver plated fibers)
- Non Bromine bearing materials (RoHS compliant)
- Roll form compatible with high speed/ low cost part conversion
- Compartmental shielding of cut-outs

Chomerics Licenses Florida Custom Mold (FCM) to Apply ECOPLATE in the Southeastern US

Chomerics is pleased to announce that Florida Custom Mold, a plastics injection molding company located in the Tampa Bay area of Florida, has licensed the Ecoplate EMI shielding process for metallizing plastic housings. Now you can receive one stop shopping from a company who can work with you to design, tool and build a plastic part as well as provide a top quality shielding and finish coating process. FCM has set-up the Ecoplate process at their Ecoplate Custom Finishing subsidiary , located in Holiday, Florida and has begun to accept orders and apply Ecoplate shielding to plastic parts. By granting this license to FCM, Chomerics expects that local southeastern US customers will receive significant service, cost and lead-time supply chain advantages

The Ecoplate process offers equivalent shielding performance to electroless plating but at a considerable cost advantage. Ecoplate offers significant shielding performance advantages to traditional acrylic conductive paints and exhibits excellent adhesion for long term reliability to a wide variety of polymer surfaces and geometries. It has been specified for use in many demanding telecommunications, medical, automotive and military applications.
Chomerics will continue to apply Ecoplate directly at our Hudson, New Hampshire facility.
