Oriented Wire Shield and Seal
This composite gasketing material is designed for use in suppressing EMI/RFI while at the same time providing an effective, full pressure, environmental seal between mating surfaces.  It is comprised of conductive wires oriented perpendicular to the mating surfaces and embedded in sponge or solid silicone elastomer .  It is recommended for use in both military and commercial applications that require high levels of EMI/RFI shielding over a wide range of temperatures and environmental conditions

  

Elastomer gasketing with conductive suspended wires
provides EMI/RFI shielding with full pressure seal

Oriented Wire Shield and Seal is a highly conductive composite shielding material consisting of sponge or soild  silicone elastomer in which oriented - monel or aluminum wires are chemically vulcanized into the elastomer.  These embedded wires are strategically constructed to provide more than 900 physical contact points per square inch with mating metallic surfaces. The silicone elastomer stabilizes each individual conductive wire even under the most severe compressive loading. The silicone provides resilience that assures effective sealing even where the mating surfaces are largely uneven. It also prevents moisture, even water, from penetrating through or around critical gasket/equipment interfaces.

Dependable shielding in extreme environments

Oriented Wire Shield and Seal gaskets will withstand a wide range of temperature extremes (-65 to 200 Celsius) and the most severe environmental conditions while providing a metal-to-metal conductive path. Among their many features are minimal compression set with corresponding wideband shielding effectiveness.

Materials and gasket forms for all applications

Oriented Wire Shield and Seal gasketing is available in sheet, strip or ring form. Standard conductive media is Monel or Aluminum wires. Pressure sensitive adhesive backings are available where required for ease of installation. Fluorosilicone compounds are also available for applications involving contact with chemical solutions or silicone oils.

How to Order Sheet Material

Sheet gasketing material is identified by an 8-digit part number (XXXX-XXXX).
To order:
1. Select the first 4 digits from the following list:
  • 1213-XXXX Solid silicone, Monel wires
  • 1313-XXXX Sponge silicone, Monel wires
  • 1443-XXXX Solid fluorosilicone, Monel wires
  • 1223-XXXX Solid silicone, aluminum wires
  • 1323-XXXX Sponge silicone, aluminum wires
  • 1453-XXXX Solid fluorosilicone, aluminum wires

NOTE: For pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) backing, substitute 7 as the second digit (1713) for solid silicone; 8 as the second digit (1823) for sponge.

2. Select height and width from the Sheet Identification and P/N Selection Chart shown below. Replace the first 2 digits of the second series with the height in decimal inches and the second 2 digits with the width, also in decimal inches. Do not use metric dimensions to order.

Example:
To order solid silicone sheet, Monel wires, .062" thick by 3" wide;
order 1213-0630.

Example:
To order sponge silicone sheet, Monel wires, .250" thick by 6" wide with PSA back; order 1813-2560.

Shielding Express will assign part numbers to custom orders.
