SOFT-SHIELD 3500, 3700, and 3800 - Commonly referred to as “Fabric Over Foam” these gaskets are available in stirp form and a variety of catalog and custom profiles.
SOFT-SHIELD 4800, 4840, 4850 and 4860 - Conductive Silver plated fibers knitted into low-density foam are made in sheet form and are die cut into custom shapes.
RF Shields and Cans and stamped metal components are the optimal solution for reducing or limiting the effect of electromagnetic interference (EMI) on printed circuit boards.
Our family of EMI shielding gaskets span a wide range of materials and options, from electrically conductive elastomers, to robotically dispensed form-in-place materials, fabric-over-foam and traditional metal-based gasketing.
Parker Chomerics SHIELDMESH gaskets are designed for applications requiring small round or rectangular EMI seals such as waveguide choke flanges, or for shafts or small housings.
Parker Chomerics POLA® SOLID, also known as TECKNIT® ELASTOMET®, consists of oriented wire in a silicone elastomer providing EMI shielding and weather sealing at a fraction of the cost of alternative products.
New to the SOFT-SHIELD product family is SOFT-SHIELD® 3800, layering design flexibility and customization on top of proven performance. Available in complex and unique non-rectangular shapes, SOFT-SHIELD 3800 enables customers to create more involved profiles to fit any size or shape requirement without sacrificing high temperature durability. SOFT-SHIELD 3800 is comprised of an electrically conductive nickel-plated copper polyester taffeta weave fabric wrapped around open cell silicone foam. Th
Parker Chomerics family of SOFT-SHIELD fabric-over-foam electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding gaskets provides an EMI gasket solution suitable for most all indoor EMI shielding and grounding applications. Ideal for applications requiring low compression force, these products rely on the unique construction of a conductive plated fabric or wire mesh, wrapped or knitted over a low closure force urethane foam.
Electrical grounding, or earth grounding, is an important aspect of electrical systems not only for safety reasons but also for reducing electrical noise. Electrical noise, sometimes referred to as electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio-frequency interference (RFI), can negatively impact the performance of electronic circuits, cause errors in measurements of precision sensors, and lead to the malfunction of sensitive electronic devices.
As devices are built around more powerful chips, some trends are driving the design of gateways, modems, routers, and other home connectivity equipment. Chip manufacturers such as Qualcomm, Meditek, and Broadcom have already announced the availability of Wi-Fi 7 chipsets and the supporting technology. This means device manufacturers and package designers are likely already integrating these chips into associated devices.
Grounding is one of the most essential – and complicated – parts of manufacturing safe, high-performing electrical devices and products. Learn more common ground and chassis ground as well as materials that can be used to ground electronics.
Parker Chomerics is a manufacturer of electrically and thermally conductive materials used to solve the challenges associated with these design concerns.
