gs2100 emi gaskets
Summary
GORE-SHIELD® GS2100 EMI Gasket is a conductive, adhesive
backed, EMI gasketing material that is moderately soft and is
approved for spaceflight and military applications.
GORE-SHIELD® GS2100 EMI Gaskets can be supplied in die-cut
part forms or in slit width rolls. Slit width material is ideal for
manual “peel and stick” EMI gasketing applications.
GORE-SHIELD® GS2100 EMI Gaskets consist of a carbon-filled
cellular PTFE matrix, a conductive pressure sensitive adhesive,
and a PET carrier film (see Figure 1).
Applications
Features and Benefits
EMI shielding for wireless infrastructure and microwave
equipment, high frequency cable connectors, and
telecommunications equipment in addition to high frequency
portable electronic devices.
• Global spaceflight and military approvals
• Proven shielding effectiveness
• Excellent reliability through Accelerated Life Testing (ALT)
• Flame retardant (UL-94 V-0)
• Broad temperature range (–45°C – 120°C)
• Maintains environmental seal
Design Considerations
When optimizing a gasket shielding solution, consider the
housing design as well as the EMI gasket performance.
