RFI and EMI - Contacts, Fingerstock and Gaskets

The 4788AB51K03700 is typically used in applications involving Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and Electro-MagneticInterference (EMI) mitigation. It has contact, fingerstock and gaskets that provide a means of sealing such applications from external sources.

Contact application for the 4788AB51K03700 involve processes beyond just making electrical connections. The contacts may include an electrical barrier that can block transmission of electrical signals from one side of the connection to the other. In EMI situations, the contact may also be designed to shield undesired electrical fields from entering or leaving the connection. The contact can also be used to shunt current from one side of the connection to the other in some applications.

Fingerstocks are commonly used to paint the connection and provide a higher level of sealing. In the 4788AB51K03700 application, fingerstocks can also be used to improve EMI compliance within an electrical connection. This could be done by having the fingerstocks create an extra level of life between two surfaces. Fingerstocks can also be used to shunt high-current signals away from sensitive components, thus providing EMI compliance.

Gaskets function similarly to fingerstocks in that they provide a higher level of sealing for the 4788AB51K03700 application. Gaskets can be combined with contact elements to provide an extra layer of protection and noise abatement. They are used to create a shield that prevents the connection from picking up interference from external sources. Gaskets can also be used to reduce the leakage of current between two contacts, thus providing improved EMI compliance.

In summary, the 4788AB51K03700 approach is used in RFI and EMI applications to minimize interference. It uses contact, fingerstock and gasket elements to create a sealed connection that provides the desired protection. This approach makes it possible to maintain the desired level of EMI compatibility while design parameters of the connection are minimized.
