Laird Technologies, Inc., which designs and manufactures customized, performance-critical components for wireless systems and other advanced electronics applications, announced the release of its new family of multi-extrusion shielding gaskets, EMI GeminiTM. The new EMI Gemini product line is a convergence of a thin, electrically conductive filler elastomer gasket layer and an inner, non-conductive silicone coated core gasket. The conductive material portion of the gasket, usually loaded with silver, aluminum, nickel or copper is greatly reduced due to the substitution of the silicone core. The reduction of the conductive material lowers the total cost. Extruded in various sizes and profiles, the gasket retains strong EMI protection performance with a lower deflection while sealing against environmental influences such as moisture and dust.For more product information, visit the Laird website.
