Conductive gaskets made with different concentric metallic wire meshes.
They may have different sections: round, rectangular, round with tail or double round. Standard materials used are: Monel, Copperweld, Tinned-Copper, Stainless Steel and Aluminium. The wire suitable for your needs must be evaluated based upon the shielding and environmental specifications requested.
Full metal gaskets are used for shielding lockers and containers where there is no need for elastic recovery after crushing. These are ideal for EMI/EMP shielding. These are not suitable for applications also requiring a seal from atmospheric conditions or elements, like water.
The Copperweld wire offers excellent shielding both in magnetic and electrical field frequencies.
