EMI Shielding: Soft Shield® – 2000 Series

SOFT-SHIELD 2000 Series gaskets consist of silver-plated nylon yarn knitted as the outer layer over a highly compressible, thermoplastic EPDN foam core. Through a special treatment process, the yarn jacket is secured to the core. This self-terminating outer layer eliminates the need for secondary termination efforts and metal particle debris associated with the cut ends of common wire mesh gaskets.

The low closure force characteristics of SOFT-SHIELD 2000 Series gaskets allows enclosures to be designed with fewer fasteners or thinner panels. The knitted conductive layer provides excellent EMI shielding on the 20MHz to 10GHz range.
