Oriented Wire

Oriented Wire is a flat, sheet material, comprising a solid silicone rubber, embedded with Monel or Aluminium metal wires orientated perpendicular to its surface. Excellent RFI/EMI/EMP shielding performance is achieved as the material has a wire density of up to 140 wires/cm2 in solid silicone providing an environmental and RFI/ EMI seal when clamped between two metallic surfaces. These wires are crimped to aid compression and are chemically bonded to ensure their retention.

Features & Benefits

  • Contains thousands of thin monel or aluminium wires that pass through the sheets thickness.
  • A good solution for achieving RFI/EMI/EMP and environmental sealing in a single gasket.
  • Can be fitted with compression limit stops or collars.
  • Ideal for use as access panels, seals, connector gaskets etc.
  • Good conformity to allow for uneven surfaces.
  • Self-adhesive backing to allow for easy assembly
