Different Applications for Wire Oriented Silicone Gaskets
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is unwanted interference caused by an outside source. It can negatively affect electronics by causing them to malfunction, run poorly, or stop working altogether. Shielding EMI is essential to ensure your products run smoothly. EMI shielding is created with several types of devices and materials. One popular EMI shielding device is wire oriented silicone gaskets.
Wire oriented silicone gaskets are popular because of their versatility. They provide a high-performance mechanical seal, and can withstand both low and high temperatures. Before we go over the various application for these gaskets, let’s go over a few of their many benefits.
- Highly Durable – These gaskets are resistant to ozone, extreme weather, and UV light, so they work great for outdoor use. They last a long time without signs of wear and tear.
- Water-Repelling – These gaskets can maintain a watertight seal while resisting moisture.
- Flame Retardant – Silicone gaskets are ideal if your application generates high heat because they have low flammability levels. They meet the fire safety and flame resistance testing requirements from Underwriters Laboratories.
- Excellent Insulation – These gaskets insulate electricity well. Most high voltage insulators use silicone gaskets because of their conductive capabilities.
- Withstand High and Low Temperatures – Silicone gaskets can withstand temperatures as high as 392 degrees Fahrenheit continuously and 428 degrees Fahrenheit intermittently.
Because of their many advantages, wire oriented silicone gaskets are popular in many applications. These gaskets work well with the following applications:
- Medical equipment
- Energy
- Mobile technology
- Food processing
- Pharmaceutical
- Aerospace
- Industrial processes
- Automobile engines
- Telecommunications equipment
- Mass transit systems
