Die Cut EMI Gasket Materials for Avionics and Defense Electronics
Die cut EMI gasket materials for avionics and defense electronics use EMI silicones and EMI fluorosilicones from SSP. Die cut gaskets that are made of EMI/RFI silicones combine strong environmental resistance with proven levels of shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency (RFI) interference. As a gasket fabrication process, die cutting combines the advantages of speed […]
MIL-DTL-83528 D-Shape EMI Gaskets Support U.S. Navy Project
Learn how MIL-DTL-83528 D-shape EMI gaskets from SSP helped supported this U.S. Navy project with a defense contractor. Appleton Marine designs and manufactures cranes, winches, windlasses, capstans, and custom designed equipment for commercial marine, offshore oil, and government applications. The Appleton, Wisconsin company also supports the U.S. Navy, which needs gaskets that combine reliable environmental resistance […]
Silicone Rubber Keypad EMI Shielding
Silicone rubber keypad EMI shielding with nickel-graphite is less expensive than with silver-filled elastomers. Silicone rubber keypads are used in everything from smartphones and electronic devices to household appliances and remote controls. Within a rubber keypad, conductive carbon components known as “pills” are molded into key actuators. These millimeter-sized parts provide alternative to dome switches […]

5G Airport Technology Needs EMI Shielding
5G airport EMI shielding is needed to support the adoption of 5G technology in commercial aviation. SSP can help. Last week, Verizon and AT&T announced that they would delay the expansion of new 5G cellular service near some U.S. airports. Although the telecommunications companies had argued that the commercial aviation industry has had years to prepare for […]
Rogers BISCO EC-2130 Alternative with Shorter Lead Times
Are you looking for an alternative to BISCO® EC-2130 EMI silicone from Rogers Corporation? Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) makes a comparable material that has shorter lead times and better physical properties. SSP-502-30 is a 30-durometer, nickel-graphite silicone that has the same hardness and uses the same type of conductive filler as BISCO® EC-2130. The lead times for […]
EV Battery Box Design Needs EMI Shielding and Sealing
Redesigning an EV battery box because of a gasket problem can be difficult and expensive. It’s better to account for EV battery box sealing up-front than to design the case and discover that a gasket won’t fit, or that a chosen material wasn’t the best selection. Along with low-temperature flexibility and high-temperature resistance, EV battery […]
