51K EMI Gaskets Fabric-over-Foam Innovative Innovative TTechnologyechnology for a for a Connected Connected WorldWorld UL 94V0 RATED NI/CU NYLON RIPSTOP (NRS) FABRIC-OVER-FOAM Laird Technologies Fabric-over-Foam (FoF) 51K EMI gaskets provide excellent EMI shielding performance for customers where EMI issues occur. The 51K Series EMI gaskets are composed of electrically conductive fabric wrapped around a soft urethane foam core. They are supplied with either a conductive or non-conductive pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA), and can be equipped with an Extended Release Liner (ERL) on the adhesive. The 51K is a UL 94V0 rated product that can be created with cross-section profiles such as rectangle, D, C, P, T, knife, bell shapes, and others. The 51K EMI gaskets can be further customized to an application by die-cutting, hole punching, notching, etc. FEATURES MARKETS Fabric-over-Foam gaskets are RoHS compliant Cabinet applications UL 94V0 LCD and Plasma TV Low surface resistivity of < 0.07 / Medical equipment provides excellent conductivity Servers Shielding effectiveness of >100 dB across a Printers wide spectrum of frequencies Laptop computers Extremely low compression forces allow for Networking equipment use of lighter materials Desktop computers Fabric is highly conductive to provide good Telecommunications cabinets EMI shielding and grounding Abrasion resistant metallized fabrics show virtually no degradation in electrical FORCE/DISPLACEMENT/RESISTANCE (FDR) 8 performance after 1,000,000 cycles 0.5 0.45 7 Laird Technologies proprietary coating 0.4 6 prevents fabric fraying and fingerprinting 0.35 5 0.3 Available with conductive or 0.25 4 non-conductive PSA 0.2 3 Many cross-section profiles available such as 0.15 2 rectangle, D, C, P, T, knife, bell and more 0.1 1 0.05 Profile gaskets can be cut to specified lengths, 0 0 kiss-cut on release liner, or mitered to form 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% frame configurations % Compression SHIELDING EFFECTIVENESS (dB) 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 global solutions: local support TM 0 USA: +1.866.928.8181 1.00E+04 1.00E+05 1.00E+06 1.00E+07 1.00E+08 1.00E+09 Frequency Hz Europe: +49.0.8031.2460.0 Asia: +86.755.2714.1166 www.lairdtech.com Effectiveness (dB) Resistance (ohms/inch length) Force (lbs/inch length)51K EMI Gaskets Fabric-over-Foam Innovative Technology for a Connected World Item Unit Value Test Method Shielding Effectiveness SAE-ARP-1705(Mod.)* at 100 MHz 109 at 1 GHz dB 113 Surface Resistivity / < 0.07 ASTM F390 Compression Set % < 20 ASTM D3574 Operation Temperature C -40 to 70 - Flame Retardant UL 94V0 (UL file No.E170327) Hazardous Substance Compliant with RoHS (Directive 2002/95/EC) Compliant with SONY SS-00259 Antimony-free Shelf Life 12 months at 23C/ 60% R.H. * Part tested: 8 mm H x 10 mm W, rectangle shape COMPOSITION OF PRODUCT W Conductive fabric Polyurethane foam H PSA tape (option) PRESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVE (PSA TAPE) OPTIONS Name Type Thickness (mm) Peel strength on stainless steel Z-axis Resistance (JIS Z 0237) LT-301 Conductive PSA 0.09 > 1.3 kgf/25 mm < 0.05 LT-350 PSA 0.12 > 2 kgf/25 mm - *Other PSA can be provided.
