Application Highlights: Enclosed Fold-Over Gasket used in Shielded Door Closure

The Enclosed Fold-Over Series of EMI-RFI shielding strips contain a "fold-over" extension that was designed to protect the contact finger as it moves through its range of motion. These products are available with or without an acrylic transfer adhesive on the mounting surface of the part. Please refer to our web site for size and part number information. To mount the parts containing a transfer adhesive, simply remove the paper liner from the transfer adhesive and press onto a smooth, clean, dry surface, as shown in Figure 1. In order to achieve maximum shielding effectiveness without damaging the part, only compress parts in one of the directions shown in Figure 2. Once fully compressed to the optimum compressed height as shown in Figure 3, continuity between the mounting and mating surfaces will be achieved resulting in maximum attenuation.

Compressing these parts less than 25% of the corresponding free height may result in poor continuity on irregular surfaces while compressing them beyond 75% of the free height may result in damage to the part.
