Applications
Generally connector gaskets are cut from thin reinforced materials, such as conductive filled aluminium mesh or silicone filled expanded Monel foil, to ensure that the compressive forces exerted ion the connector do not distort the gasket. However, for certain applications oriented wires in silicone or conductive silicone EMI shielding materials are selected for their specific properties.
Most gaskets can be made from all standard materials but it is important to consider the ‘land-width’ around the periphery of a connector gasket if conductive filled aluminium mesh or silicone filled expanded Monel foil are specified. In some instances, where a gasket has fixing holes on each corner, the holes are extended outwards to slots, which helps to prevent damage to the gasket during production and fitting.
EMI shielded connector gaskets are fitted in the normal manner and particular care should be taken when passing a gasket over a threaded connector body. Avoid the use of conductive adhesives as they tend to adversely affect the sealing characteristics of most types of gasket.
