BS 1806 EMI O-Rings
SSP fabricates BS 1806 568 EMI O-Rings from the electrically conductive silicones that we make. These conductive O-rings provide environmental sealing and EMI shielding for applications such as military and aerospace electronics, telecommunications and networking equipment, medical equipment, electric vehicles and power electronics, and industrial control systems.
- Base elastomers: Silicone or fluorosilicone
- Conductive particles: Silver-aluminum, silver-copper, silver-nickel, nickel-aluminum, or nickel-graphite
- Manufacturing: Molded or bonded
Note: SSP also makes M83528/002 Standard EMI O-Rings and M83528/005 Non-Standard EMI O-Rings for military applications.
BS 1806 EMI O-Ring Sizes
BS 1806 was issued by the British Standards Institution and includes five main cross-section (CS) groups. Some groups correspond to AS568 EMI O-ring sizes, but there are also groups that are between AS 568 sizes.
