0078005617 RF/IF and RFID

Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) can cause serious disruption, interference and even damage to electronic circuits. Therefore, products and systems must be designed and manufactured to protect against the effects of disruptive external noise. An important way to provide this protection is to use effective shielding materials such as fingerstock contacts, fingerstocks, gaskets, and EMI/RFI shielding. The 0078005617 contact is a versatile product that serves many RFI / EMI shielding purposes.

Fingerstock contacts offer a cost effective solution for RFI/EMI shielding. This type of product consists of pliable, metallic contact strips that are available in various sizes, depths and materials. They are lightweight and easy to assemble and can be easily cut to size. A great feature of fingerstock contacts is that they can be used to form “fingerstock cables”, allowing multiple fingerstock strips to be connected together to increase shielding performance. It is an ideal product for applications requiring shielded connections between two or more components.

Fingerstocks are often used in combination with gaskets, providing combined mechanical / electrical shielding. Gaskets serve the same purpose as fingerstock contacts, but they are specifically designed for use with various sizes and depths of fingerstocks. A gasket is placed between two fingerstocks and then compressed using a low-force device. This causes the gasket to apply a fleeelectric force to the fingerstocks, forming a tight seal between them.

Gaskets offer improved performance over fingerstocks alone, because they reduce the amount of interference that can enter the contact area. Gaskets also make it easier to assemble complex shielding configurations, since they are easy to install and require minimal force to secure. They can also be easily removed, allowing for quick repair or inspection.

In order to maximize shielding performance, it is important to consider the contact area of the shielding material and its layout. The 0078005617 is an excellent choice for a combination of fingerstocks and gaskets, as it has a large contact area that provides more shielding coverage. Additionally, the 0078005617 fingerstocks and gaskets have a low-friction design, allowing them to form a more effective seal.

The 0078005617 also provides an additional layer of protection by making use of a unique working principle called thermo-gasketing. This system uses heat-activated glue to secure the gasket material to the fingerstocks and eliminates the need for any type of mechanical fasteners. This system is particularly beneficial in applications where the ambient temperature may vary, as it ensures a secure seal even when the temperature increases.

When used together, fingerstocks, gaskets and the 0078005617 contact provide a formidable defense against RFI and EMI. The combination of EMI and RFI shielding materials creates an effective barrier against disruptive external noise, helping to protect against interference and damage. The 0078005617 contact’s versatile design, large contact area and thermo-gasketing working principle provide shielding performance and durability that can ensure reliable operation for years to come.
