Enclosure Shielding with Bonded EMI Frame Gaskets
SSP makes bonded EMI frame gaskets for enclosure shielding. Learn when to use these EMI gaskets. Bonded EMI frame gaskets are made from electrically-conductive silicone sheets that are cut into strips and then bonded together at their edges with an electrically-conductive adhesive. The entire EMI gasket resembles a picture frame with four flat sides and […]
CHO-SEAL EMI Gasket Alternatives
Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) makes EMI gasket materials that you can use as alternatives to CHO-SEAL® materials from Parker Hannifin. The table shows when SPP products are offsets.
Why Are the Best Medical Grade Silicones Platinum-Cured?
SSP’s medical grade silicones are platinum cured for purity and comply with USP Class VI, FDA, and RoHS requirements. Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) supplies medical grade platinum-cured silicones in durometers ranging from 10 to 80 (Shore A). These ultra-clean, high-purity silicones are part of the SSP2390 series and meet stringent FDA CFR 177.2600, USP Class VI*, and […]
FDA Silicone Materials
Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) makes FDA silicone materials for food contact and medical applications. SSP’s SSP2390 series of FDA silicones also meet USP Class VI and RoHS requirements. All SSP2390 materials are platinum-cured for low levels of extractables, potentially harmful substances that could leach out of a material. What is FDA Silicone? FDA silicone refers […]
Is an EMC Gasket an EMI Gasket?
The terms EMC gasket and EMI gasket are often used interchangeably, but they have slightly different meanings based on their scope in electromagnetic protection. Most gaskets used for EMI protection are called EMI gaskets, but when they are part of a design aimed at EMC compliance, they may be referred to as EMC gaskets. EMI […]
EMI Connector Gaskets and MIL-DTL-83528 Part Numbers
EMI connector gaskets provide environmental sealing and shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI) in electrical and electronic connectors. They are cut or molded from electrically-conductive elastomers and designed to fill small gaps between uneven connector surfaces. EMI silicones for connector gaskets are soft enough to support compression and can provide proven levels of EMI shielding while […]
Conductive Gaskets and EMI Shielding
Conductive gaskets can provide electrical and/or thermal conductivity. Electrical conductivity is a measure of the amount of electrical current that a gasket material can carry. The unit of measure is Siemens per meter (S/m). Thermal conductivityis a measure of the amount of thermal energy (i.e., heat) that a gasket material can carry. The unit of […]
Chomerics EMI Gasket Alternatives from SSP
Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) makes EMI gasket materials that you can use as alternatives to CHO-SEAL® materials from Parker Hannifin. The table shows when SPP products are offsets.
UAV EMI Shielding for Drones
EMI shielding for drones and UAVs protects sensitive circuits against electromagnetic interference. Typically, these circuits are part of printed circuit boards (PCBs) that are housed within box-like enclosures.
Chomerics 6502 Alternative Resists Galvanic Corrosion
Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) supplies a nickel-aluminum silicone that provides EMI shielding, resists galvanic corrosion, and offers an offset to Chomerics 6502.
