4053PA51H04800

The 4053PA51H04800 contact is an essential component when it comes to radio frequency interference and electromagnetic interference (RFI and EMI) protection. It is manufactured for the purpose of shielding electronic circuits from unwanted external interference, by blocking and then safely dissipating such interference. Contacts, fingerstock, and gaskets are key features of the 4053PA51H04800 which are required for successful RFI and EMI protection.

Applications and Typical Use-Cases

The 4053PA51H04800 contact offers an ideal solution for applications which require both RFI and EMI protection. In particular, contact and fingerstock is often used in order to provide shielding of enclosures or devices which contain electronics, including computers, servers, telecommunication equipment, automotive and industrial machinery, and more. Examples of these applications could include RAM memory protection in a laptop computer, or protection of a critical circuit board component within an industrial system.

Contact Design

The contact part of the 4053PA51H04800 is designed for easy installation. It consists of a flat contact strip length, which is typically made from copper plated with palladium or gold for increased conductivity. This contact strip is designed to shield and discharge energy coming from external EMI radiation sources. The contact strip is then connected to a fingerstock material (typically made from steel or aluminum) which is then soldered to the device or system being shielded.

Gasket Construction

Gaskets are designed to effectively create an environmental seal between the contact and fingerstock materials and the internal components being protected. This is done by providing a cushion of cushion material between the contact and fingerstock materials and the inside of the device or system. This can be accomplished using either traditional rubber gasket material, or using a composite construction technique such as “glue-in-place” or “thermo-set” gaskets. Both of these options work together to provide electrostatic shielding around the device or system being protected.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 4053PA51H04800 contact is based on a simple concept. By providing a conductive path between two different points, it is possible to both shield and protect a device or system. When an external source of interference or radiation (such as RFI or EMI) is encountered, this energy is safely discharged away from the device or system being shielded. The contact strip and fingerstock are designed to effectively conduct away any interference in order to protect the internal components from damage.

Conclusion

The 4053PA51H04800 contact is ideal for applications requiring RFI and EMI protection. It is composed of contact and fingerstock materials which are designed to provide effective shielding, while also providing an environmental seal to protect internal components from outside interference. Finally, by providing a conductive path between two different points, the 4053PA51H04800 contact is able to both shield and discharge energy away from sensitive circuitry.
