MIL-DTL-83528 Part Numbers for EMI Gaskets

SSP fabricates MIL-DTL-83528 materials into EMI gaskets that meet the requirements of MIL-DTL-83528 part numbers. The MIL-DTL-83528 specification establishes the following structure for part identifying numbers (PINs), as they are called.

• Military designator (M)
• General specification number (83528/)
• Specification sheet number (3 digits)
• Material type (A to M)
• Dash number (001 and up)

Three-Digit Specification Sheet Number

The three-digit specification sheet number indicates the type of product from which the EMI gasket is fabricated, or the type of gasket that is produced.

For example, in the list below, 001 indicates that the gasket is made from Solid Cord while 012 indicates that it’s a Flat EMI Waveguide gasket.

• M83528/001 Solid Cord
• M83528/002 Standard EMI O-Rings
• M83528/003 Solid D
• M83528/004 Connector, Flange Mount
• M83528/005 Non-Standard EMI O-Rings
• M83528/006 Rectangular D
• M83528/007 Hollow D Strip
• M83528/008 Hollow P Strip
• M83528/009 Solid Rectangle
• M83528/010 Solid U Channel
• M83528/011 Hollow Tube
• M83528/012 Flat EMI Waveguide
• M83528/013 Round EMI Waveguide
• M83528/014 Time Totalizing Meter

For each M83528 PIN that SSP fabricates, the material type is A, B, C, D, or K, depending on the type of conductive rubber that’s used.

Dash Number

The dash number (after the /) indicates the EMI gasket’s nominal dimensions, which are defined in separate tables for each of the 14 categories listed above. Provided dimensions vary by gasket type. For example, solid rectangular gaskets have nominal dimensions for width and height.

Sample M83528 Part Number

Together, the elements of a M83528 PIN describe the characteristics of the EMI gasket. For example, M83528/009A001 indicates the following:

• The EMI gasket is for military application (M).
• It meets MIL-DTL-83528 requirements (83528/).
• The shape is a solid rectangle (009).
• The gasket made of a MIL-DTL-83528, Type A material (A).
• Based on the dash number (001), the width is .063 mm and the height is .042 mm.
