Discover KnitMesh Technologies’ Shielding Gaskets with Fluid Seals

KnitMesh Technologies’ Shielding Gaskets with Fluid Seals are the ultimate solution for protecting electronic equipment. These gaskets are designed to provide robust shielding against EMI and RFI, ensuring that your sensitive electronics remain unaffected by external interference.

What sets these gaskets apart is their knitted wire mesh construction, featuring interlocked spring-like loops. This unique design not only ensures resilience but also provides excellent conductivity for effective electromagnetic shielding. With these gaskets in place, you can rest assured that your equipment is well-protected from the effects of EMI and RFI.

In addition to their shielding capabilities, these gaskets also feature a fluid seal component, acting as a barrier against liquid contaminants and dust. By maintaining a proper seal, they prevent blockages, overheating, and mechanical failure, ensuring the longevity and reliability of your electronic equipment.

These versatile gaskets are essential for sealing enclosure lids, doors, and cover plates, preserving the integrity of electronic enclosures. They are also commonly used as interface gaskets in vent panels and windows, providing secure and efficient sealing in various applications.

Understanding EMI and RFI

EMI refers to the phenomenon where electromagnetic energy disrupts the normal functioning of electronic devices and systems. This interference can originate from various sources such as power lines, electronic devices, radio transmitters, and even natural occurrences like lightning strikes. The consequences of EMI can manifest as noise, disturbances, or signal degradation, leading to compromised functions and unreliable performance of electronic equipment.

RFI, a subset of EMI, specifically relates to interference caused by radio frequency signals. When signals emitted by radio transmitters or wireless devices interfere with the reception or transmission of signals in electronic equipment, the result is impaired performance and compromised functionality. Devices such as radio receivers, telecommunications systems, and medical equipment are particularly susceptible to the effects of RFI.

One solution to combat EMI and RFI is the use of Shielding Gaskets With Fluid Seals. These specialised gaskets are designed to create a barrier around electronic components, preventing EMI and RFI from affecting their performance. The key to the effectiveness of these gaskets lies in their construction, which typically includes a combination of materials such as metal, foam, and rubber.
