Laird Technologies RF and Wireless - RFI and EMI - Contacts, Fingerstock and Gaskets 4198PAH1K01200

The 4198PAH1K01200 is a sculpted foam gasket designed for RFI and EMI shielding applications. It is made from open cell polyurethane foam with a UL94 V0 rated fabric cover, specifically a nickel/copper ripstop fabric. This product is compliant with European RoHS and WEEE directives, ensuring it is bromine-free and suitable for use in electrical and electronic equipment. The gasket exhibits low compression set characteristics, which enhance its shielding performance over time, particularly under prolonged exposure to room and elevated temperatures. It is available in lengths ranging from 1 inch to 96 inches, allowing for customization based on specific project requirements. The absence of a plastic stiffener base contributes to cost reduction while maintaining performance. Engineers may find this product beneficial for applications in cabinets, servers, and networking equipment, where effective shielding and durability are critical.
