Shielding Connector Gaskets
Providing EMI Shielding and Environmental Sealing
   
 

Metex connector gaskets provide EMI shielding and environmental sealing for a wide array of connector types - including aluminum wire cloth, nickel copper alloy, aluminum and silver plated glass in connector shell sizes from 6-16".

When a connector gasket is installed between the mounting flange and an enclosure bulkhead, the gasket is compressed between the two surfaces. The elastomer provides environmental sealing, and the conductive substrate or particles embedded in the elastomer creates a low impedance electrical path between the mating surfaces.

KEY FEATURES
  • Wide variety of materials and connector types
  • Easily handled and installed
  • Custom connector cluster gaskets available
  • High shielding and sealing effectiveness
  • Evaluation samples
  • Product application assistance
CUSTOM-ENGINEERED SHIELDING PRODUCTS
METEX has been a pioneer in EMI/RFI gasketing and shielding products for more than five decades. In fact, METEX developed the very first EMI/RFI gasket to help MIT solve a severe interference problem for the earliest high-power, high-frequency airborne radar. That pioneering spirit is still alive today—with a complete line of military and commercial-grade EMI/RFI shielding solutions. As communications and information technologies expand, the need to provide EMI/RFI solutions becomes more critical than ever before.
