Low Hardness Silicone Nickel Graphite Soft Conductive Elastomers Whitepaper
The Quiet Revolution in EMI Shielding Why Low Hardness Conductive Elastomers Are Expanding Design Possibilities Across Demanding Applications
Electromagnetic interference is becoming increasingly difficult to manage as operating frequencies increase, electronics continue to miniaturize, and system densities grow across automotive, medical, aerospace, defense, networking, and data center applications. Engineers require shielding materials that can provide more than electromagnetic protection—they need solutions that accommodate delicate electronics, complex enclosure geometries, and demanding environmental conditions.
This whitepaper examines how silicone nickel graphite soft (SNGS) conductive elastomers are helping engineers rethink enclosure design by combining:
- Effective EMI shielding
- Low closure force requirements
- Superior surface conformability
- Environmental sealing capability
- Long-term durability across demanding operating conditions
These attributes may enable engineers to design more compact, lightweight, and reliable electronic systems.
