TechEtch 2500 Series: A New Standard in Shielding Effectiveness

Material and Design

The TechEtch 2500 series gaskets are designed for robust electrical performance, essential for high-level EMI/RFI shielding. Its metalized fabric over foam construction features an electrically conductive nickel-plated copper nylon ripstop fabric layered over a resilient open-cell core made of polyurethane. The material selection and design of the 2500 Series go beyond efficacy; they ensure low compression and surface resistivity while being capable of withstanding temperatures ranging from -40°F to 158°F (-40°C to 70°C).

The innovative bonding of the conductive substrate to the foam core assures self-termination of the gaskets, whether provided in standard or custom-cut lengths, enhancing their ease of use and versatility. Moreover, adherence to RoHS, REACH, and UL 94 V-0 Halogen-free standards ensures that these gaskets are not only effective but also environmentally friendly.

All these design intricacies not only ensure the product’s longevity but also position it as a preferred choice across a spectrum of applications, embodying a blend of technical excellence and environmental responsibility.
