CuBe Gaskets Help Reduce EMI Levels

July 13, 2015

A line of EMI shielding materials can be used in a variety of different high-frequency package applications.

A line of Fingerstock copper-beryllium (CuBe) gaskets is well-suited for use as electromagnetic-interference (EMI) absorbers in electronic-equipment enclosures. The materials are formulated to provide high reliability. Gaskets come in a wide range of styles and sizes and operate in spaces from 0.010 to 0.410 in. Available as thin as 0.002 in., soft gaskets can be supplied for applications where low compression force may be part of achieving a secure EMI seal.
