Foil/Fabric over Foam Gasket Shields I/O Panel

.....A European manufacturer of mid-to-high end PCs, using Pentium III-based motherboards, experience electromagnetic interference at the I/O connector interface. Shielding of at least 80 dB was needed over a broad frequency range. Low impedance grounding was needed to the PC chassis via the I/O backpanel. The shielding and grounding solution had to install easily and function under low closure force.
.....To meet these requirements, Chomerics die-cut thin cross section gaskets to fit the standard I/O panel dimensions. A conductive pressure-sensitive adhesive was then added to the gaskets' mounting surfaces. No installation hardware was required.
.....The die-cut SOFT-SHIELD 4000 EMI gaskets provided a low-cost, high volume shielding and grounding solution. This flexible gasket features a closed cell urethane foam core, machine wrapped with fabric-reinforced aluminum foil.
.....The SOFT-SHIELD 4000 gaskets also provided more than 100 dB attenuation from 20 MHz to 10 GHz, with no degradation in shielding performance after 10,000 compression cycles. Deflection of 25% was achieved with only 3.0 lb/inch (0.525 N/mm) compressive force.
.....SOFT-SHIELD 4000 material comes in five standard thicknesses, in 10 or 20 inch (25.4 or 50.8 cm) lengths, and widths from 0.5 to 6 inches (12.7 to 152 mm). In addition to die-cut parts and low-cost picture frame gaskets, SOFT-SHIELD 4000 material is supplied kiss-cut on film sheets for peel-and-stick grounding tabs.
