V-Shape Gasket

V-shape EMI/RFI shielding gaskets are for applications between lids, hinges and locks, and between doors and doorframes.

The V-shape gaskets 8700 series are characterized by a very large compression range and low closure force. They come with a self-adhesive strip for easy mounting. The most common version is with conductive nickel over copper textile (Material code T).

The version with highly conductive Amucor foil (Material code A) is designed specifically to be combined with aluminum and zinc-plated steel. To prevent loss of material and for logistics V-Shape Gasket 8700 is cut to exact lengths. The longest length available is 2.5 meters.

V-shape gaskets are also available with a resilient foam rubber insert for more compression to cushion the impact during door closing.

The V-shape gasket 8700 series is flame retardant and can be supplied in a UL94V-0 compliant version. Excellent shielding can be achieved without any permanent closure force. This construction prevents bending of doors so the enclosure can be less rigid. It is also suitable for hinges and locks.
