Where EMI Gaskets and EMI O-Rings are Replacing Standard Seals
EMI gaskets and EMI O-rings are replacing standard elastomeric seals in an increasing number of applications. Often, it’s because designers didn’t anticipate that their products would fail EMI testing. Some of these non-compliant devices represent innovative technologies, but others are next-generation versions of existing products with higher-than-expected RF emissions. When standard or legacy seals are […]
