Military Gaskets for EMI Shielding: What are MIL-DTL-83528 and QPL 83528?

Designers of military gaskets face application-specific challenges. For example, not all EMI shielding elastomers that meet MIL-DTL-83528 requirements are QPL listed. For gasket fabricators who support military applications, it’s important to know what MIL-DTL-83528 is and how it’s related to the QPL. It’s also worth learning about some other conductive shielding elastomers that are used […]

Silicone Gasket for EMI Shielding

Do you need a silicone gasket for EMI shielding? Among its advantages, silicone rubber is flexible, weather-resistant, and can withstand a wide range of temperatures. Silicones for custom rubber gaskets are also available in lower (softer) durometers, even when they contain electrically contain fillers such as silver-coated or nickel-graphite particles. Composites and Costs A silicone […]
Custom Rubber Gaskets for EMI Shielding

Custom rubber gaskets for EMI shielding combine shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI) with environmental sealing. These EMI gaskets are fabricated from specialized materials that consist of a base elastomer and an electrically conductive filler. Base elastomers include silicone, fluorosilicone, and EPDM. Fillers include silver-coated and nickel-graphite particles. During material selection, engineers need to balance EMI […]
