EMI O-Ring Applications
EMI O ring applications solve the continuity issues in removable parts in an enclosure. They also seal gaps and improve enclosure reliability. EMI O-Ring Applications: Understanding the Basics What is EMI? Electromagnetic interference (EMI) occurs when external electromagnetic energy mixes with another electronic system and then disturbs the system’s original flow. EMI is one of […]
RFI Shielding Materials vs. EMI Shielding Materials

Does a Conductive Elastomer Gasket Provide EMI Shielding?
Does a conductive elastomer gasket provide EMI shielding? The short answer is yes, but some conductive elastomers provide ESD protection instead. What is a Conductive Elastomer Gasket? A conductive elastomer gasket is made of a rubber material that contains specialized fillers. Normally, elastomers are electrically insulating rather than electrically conductive. That means they prevent rather […]
