Multi-Planer Electrically Conductive Foam EMI Shielding Gaskets
Parker Chomerics SOFT-SHIELD® 4800 is a true multi-planar, Z-axis electrically conductive foam for indoor applications. It is based on the unique integration of electrically conductive silver-plated fibers into a low-density urethane foam, providing for a performance-driven, cost-effective EMI shielding solution. It offers greater EMI shielding performance from other SOFT-SHIELD products which may only consist of an electrically conductive jacket over traditional urethane foam. Through the optimization of conductive fiber construction, loading and dispersion within the foam matrix, SOFT-SHIELD 4800 provides superb Z-axis conductivity with extremely short ground paths. Since the integrity of the base foam is uncompromised, SOFT-SHIELD 4800 offers exceptional physical and mechanical properties. SOFT-SHIELD 4800 is flammability rated to UL 94 HF-1 and is available in bulk rolls or custom die cut shapes. An acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) is available on one side to optimize gasket adhesion and electrical interface resistance.
