Laird Performance Materials 51H Fabric-over-Foam (FoF) EMI Gaskets

Laird Performance Materials 51H Fabric-over-Foam (FoF) EMI Gaskets provide excellent EMI shielding performance anywhere EMI issues occur. These gaskets are composed of electrically conductive fabric wrapped around a soft urethane foam core. They offer shielding effectiveness of >100dB across a wide spectrum of frequencies, and extremely low compression forces allow for the use of lighter materials. The 51H gaskets are supplied with conductive or non-conductive pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) and can be equipped with an extended release liner (ERL) on the adhesive. They are halogen free, UL 94V-0 rated, and RoHS compliant. 

Laird 51H FoF EMI Gaskets are ideal for use in cabinet applications, LCD and plasma TVs, medical equipment, servers, printers, networking equipment, and more.

Also available are RF/Microwave Absorber Kits that function as a mode absorber magnetic elastomer or a low dielectric elastomer. These absorbers are flexible and can be fitted to compound curves.
