Conductive Rubber O-Profiles 7900

Conductive Rubber O-profiles developed for high performance shielding. Used where environmental & EMI screening is required but little space is available.

Several types of O-profiles have been developed for different applications with each having its own advantages. O-profiles were originally designed for high-performance shielding for military and high security applications. They are used when environmental sealing and EMI screening are required, and where there is little space.

Four kinds of extrusion types are available: 1: hollow, 2: solid, 3: Cell Rubber and 4: rectangular. These extrusion cores can be covered with metallized fabric foil or they can be made out of conductive rubber. For optimal shielding performance a compression of 5-10 % is recommended for solid elastomers and 10-50 % for hollow extrusions and sponge rubbers.

    Options (on request)

  • Cut into accurate lengths or endless O-rings
  • Drop-out prevention fixtures
  • UL94V-0 flame-retardant version
  • High temperature-resistant Silicone core (up to 220 °C)
  • Fluorosilicone (silver aluminium, silver copper, nickel, nickel graphite) for applications with chemicals

    Benefits:

  • Easy to fit into grooves
  • Deflection up to 50%
  • Low closure force
Can be delivered on reel or in length you desire
Example of the O-profile in use
It can be delivered in different shapes & sizes
Compression

Solid elastomers cannot be compressed much. They are easily deformed but the volume does not change as would be the case with sponge elastomer (PVC, EPDM, Neoprene) so that allowance for material flow must be considered in the groove design.

The figure below shows two different groove designs. On the left there is a typical rectangular groove, while the design on the right can mechanically retain circular cross-section gaskets by side friction.

7910 Conductive jointed O-rings

We also supply Conductive jointed O-rings. The 7910 series are practically the same as the 7900 series O-Profiles, however, this is a turnkey closed O-ring. They are used where environmental and EMI screening is required but were little space is available.
