Mesh Over Elastomer
Series No. 1500
MAJR’s Mesh Over Elastomer EMI Gaskets offer the shielding effectiveness that can be expected from metal knitted mesh gasket while simultaneously allowing for compression in a way that isn’t found with a typical all-mesh shielding gasket. A variety of material combinations are available to choose from depending on what sort of compression and shielding characteristics your specific application requires.
MAJR provides the choice between our standard rectangular, round, round with fin, or hollow configuration to ensure that enclosures or other equipment will be RF sealed appropriately.
