TBAECP's new soft gaskets feature protection against fabric tears

(PRWEB) July 18, 2004 -- EMI shielding specialist, TBA Electro Conductive Products (ECP) has added a new option to its ECP 400 series of soft gaskets that protects against tears in the conductive fabric coating.
The new ECP 400 Ripstop series features a specially enhanced conductive fabric that is designed to prevent fabric tears making it ideal for use in applications where doors, panels and apertures are subjected to frequent opening and closing.
ECP 400 Ripstop series soft EMI shielding gaskets comprise a conductive fabric bonded over a soft non-wicking polyurethane closed cell foam. The gaskets are ideal for shielding applications where high performance levels over a wide frequency range are required and particularly where low closure forces combine with a requirement for good environmental sealing. All gaskets feature a self-adhesive strip to aid location and mounting.
A wide range of standard profiles is available cropped to any length up to 2m encompassing rectangular, flat, square, D-shaped, V-section, clip-on D-shaped, knife-edge, P-shaped, U-shaped, L- or J-shaped, keyhole and circular. In addition to standard shapes, TBA ECP can provide custom designs with virtually no limitation to the design of the gasket profile and incorporating full or partial wrap of the conductive fabric. Tailor made die cut shapes in widths up to 150mm can be produced.
Various finishes are available including Nickel/Copper (Ni/Cu) plated as standard and gold plated for higher attenuation.
Typical specifications for polyurethane foam include UL94V0 flammability rating and 6% maximum compression set. The conductive fabric is woven polyester (non woven option available) and surface resistivity is 0.05ohms/sq. Offering excellent abrasion resistance, overall shielding effectiveness is 68 to 88dB from 30MHz to 1GHz with a temperature limit of 200 deg C.
TBA's ECP 400 Ripstop soft gaskets extend the company's comprehensive line of EMI shielding products that also includes knitted wire mesh gaskets, woven wire sheet, metal foil tapes, oriented wire in silicone rubber, moulded and extruded conducting elastomers, printable EMI shielding elastomers, EMI shielding windows, honeycomb vents, shielded fan vents and quiet vents. The company also offers an extensive line of beryllium copper and stainless steel fingerstock for all EMI shielding applications.
TBA Electro Conductive Products is a specialist manufacturer of high quality electro static protection (ESP) and electro magnetic interference (EMI) shielding products.
