RFI and EMI - Contacts, Fingerstock and Gaskets

    S0941-46R contact systems are an example of high-performance contact-type electromechanical components. In a typical application, fingerstocks, which fit in the contact niche, form several contacts simultaneously, and are held in place by gaskets. With the contact points connected to each other, an electric current is generated. That current is used to power electronic devices and circuits.

    When using S0941-46R contact systems, the size of the gaskets and fingerstocks can vary depending on the design and application. Generally, gaskets should be made of low-cost, corrosion-resistant material, such as aluminium. Fingerstocks should be of high-quality steel or other suitable metals. Depending on the requirement and application, fingerstocks can also be coated with a thin layer of corrosion-resistant material. For the same purpose, fingerstocks can also be zinc-plated or anodized.

    When the contacts are correctly aligned, fingerstocks form the contact points. The fingerstocks can also be adjusted to increase or decrease the number of contact points, depending on the application. In this way, the strength of the contact between the fingerstocks and gaskets can be adjusted. At the same time, gaskets transfer the electrical current of the contact points to the application circuit. Gaskets are also designed to protect the contacts from dirt, moisture and vibration.

    The performance of the contact points and gaskets can be improved with the use of a shielding layer, such as an extruded shield or an epoxy-coated shield. Because the contact points and gaskets create an electrical connection between two devices, they are also used to reduce Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). The shielding layer helps reduce interference by preventing data signals and other electrical signals from leaking out.

    The S0941-46R contact systems have been designed to offer reliable and consistent performance. They are also resistant to mechanical stress and can be used in high-voltage applications. In addition, the contact points and gaskets are also designed to be resistant to corrosion and static electricity. As a result, they are suitable for use in a wide range of environments and applications.

    In conclusion, S0941-46R contact systems offer reliable and consistent performance in a wide range of electromechanical applications. The contact points and gaskets, which form the contact system, can be adjusted to change the number of contact points and the size of the gaskets can be varied depending on the application. The use of a shielding layer helps reduce RFI and EMI. As a result, the S0941-46R contact systems are suitable for use in high-voltage applications, and offer reliable and consistent performance in a wide range of settings.
