Clip on Knitted Wire Mesh

Clip on knitted wire mesh gasket strip is a very flexible, easily compressible sponge EPDM tubular or bulb type gasket strip with a steel spring clip covered with a double knitted wire mesh layer for RFI / EMI shielding. Most suited for enclosure / cabinet door applications.

Overview

Clip on knitted wire mesh gasket strip provides a good RFI / EMI shield for enclosures and electrical cabinets. The soft hollow bulb profile requires low closure force and makes the product particularly suitable for door applications where frequent opening and closing is required. The clip-on gasket is easy to fit and will bend up to 90 degrees. The knitted wire mesh gives very low contact resistance between mating surfaces ensuring good shielding. The choice of wire mesh material available also allows for a good galvanic match with mating flanges, thereby limiting the possibility of corrosion between gasket and mating surface. There are 6 standard profiles including side clip. Other profiles and NBR rubber are available to special order.

Materials

  • Monel
  • Tin Plated copper Clad Steel
  • Aluminium
  • Stainless Steel

Applications

Very suitable for EMI shielded door gaskets for electronic enclosures such as 19” racks, control cabinets etc. The soft bulb profile ensures low closure force and the spring clip fitment make for easy application to the enclosure frame.
