RFI and EMI shield designs are based on the principles of electrical field flux control and the blocking of those fields. This shielding is intended to protect circuits, systems, and people from electrostatic fields and radiowaves that might interfere with operation. Of the most commonly used shielding materials, contacts, fingerstock and gaskets, each member offers important advantages.

Contacts provide an important component of a shielding system. Shielding is often enabled using gas-tight metallic contacts, like the Hoffman 20097060702. This contact is designed to ensure a uniform contact between the metal to metal surfaces. Using Hoffman contacts like the 20097060702 is important for commercial and aerospace applications, since they provide superior contact performance, durability, and electrical resistance. In addition to shielding, contacts are also used to aid in mounting and keeping components in place.

Fingerstock

Fingerstock shielding is an important part of the overall shielding system. Fingerstock shields are typically made from thin, metal strips that are formed and cut to custom engineered diameters and lengths. The use of fingerstock shields is essential within many electrical applications, since they not only provide superior protection from RFI and EMI, but they also act as spacers from protrusions that exist within the electric enclosure. The Hoffman 20097060702 Fingerstock Shield is designed for use in high temperature shielding applications.

Gaskets

Gaskets are another important component of the shielding system and also serve to address vibration and shock. Gaskets, like the Hoffman 20097060702, are typically comprised of slit rubber material and designed to fit between two metal surfaces. Many designs and materials are available to choose from, based on the environment in which they will be used. It is important to choose the right gasket material to ensure a secure fit and avoid any leaking.

Conclusion

Shields, contacts, gaskets, and fingerstock offer important components for RFI and EMI shielding. The Hoffman 20097060702 is designed to provide a uniform contact between metal-to-metal surfaces in high temperature environments. The 20097060702 Fingerstock Shield is designed for RFI and EMI shielding applications. In addition, Gaskets like the 20097060702 are designed to provide a secure seal, protecting both the component and the environment.
