Gore-Shield gs5200 emi gaskets Summary GORE-SHIELD GS5200 EMI Gasket is a highly conductive, adhesive-backed, EMI gasketing material that is ideally suited for wireless infrastructure and telecommunications applications. GORE-SHIELD GS5200 EMI Gaskets can be supplied in die-cut part forms or in slit width rolls. Slit width material is ideal for manual peel and stick EMI gasketing applications. GORE-SHIELD GS5200 EMI Gaskets consist of a nickel-filled PTFE matrix, a conductive pressure sensitive adhesive, and a PET carrier film (see Figure 1). Applications EMI shielding for wireless infrastructure equipment, telecommunications equipment, in addition to specialized portable electronic devices. Design Considerations Features and Benefits When optimizing a gasket shielding solution, consider the Excellent shielding effectiveness housing design as well as the EMI gasket performance. Excellent reliability through Accelerated Life Testing (ALT) Important considerations in the housing design include flatness, Flame retardant (UL-94 V-0) surface roughness, material type, rigidity, contact area, tolerance take-up, conductivity, fastener type, and fastener locations. Broad temperature range (-45C to 120C) Years of successful use worldwide Key factors in an EMI gasket include softness, tolerance take-up, conductivity (DC resistance), and shielding effectiveness both before and after Accelerated Life Testing (ALT). Nominal Material Properties Property Value Gore application engineers can provide expert design assistance Hardness (Shore A) 60 and rapid prototyping for your EMI shielding needs.
