SOFT-SHIELD 4850 EMI shielding gasket provides ideal solution for medical equipment enclosure applications

SOFT-SHIELD 4850 from Chomerics Europe – a division of Parker Hannifin – is highly suited to the growing number of medical applications that now exist due to the rapid expansion and use of electronics equipment for patient care. The primary reason for the EMI shielding material’s suitability is that it uses silver plated fibres rather than nickel to provide electrical conductivity; contact with nickel, commonly used in shielded gasket materials, has been shown to cause an allergic reaction in some people and can result in dermatitis.

SOFT-SHIELD® 4850 utilises multi-planar, Z-axis conductive foam technology to help it deliver shielding effectiveness of 95dB average. The material provides a low closure force, cost effective shielding solution with excellent through-resistance and compression set properties. This makes it an ideal gasket and shielding solution for portable medical equipment enclosures. A selectively coated pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) can be specified to help simplify and speed assembly.

The material is can supplied in custom profiles as well as rectangular or square strip gasket seals. Operating temperature range is -40°C to +70°C.
