Abstract

Recent advances in EMI gasketing for electronics have occurred in the areas of foam based gasketing, conductive form-in-place gasketing, and conductive overmolded gasketing. Foam based EMI gaskets continue to be chosen solution for indoor electronics EMI shielding applications due to their lower cost, optimum compression/deflection performance, coupled with excellent EMI shielding effectiveness characteristics. Conductive form-in-place EMI gasketing continues strong as a shielding solution for commercial telecommunication equipment, specifically handheld wireless equipment, e.g., cellular telephones housings. Overmolded conductive gasketing solutions, comprised of conductive elastomers with either metal cans or conductively plated thermoplastics, have evolved as a competitive alternative to soldered metal cans on printed circuit boards. The full range of EMI gasketing solutions available to designers and the salient aspects of each will also be addressed during this talk.
