Description

Parker Chomerics CHO-SEAL 6503 is a high-performance, nickel-aluminium filled conductive elastomer built on a fluorosilicone binder, engineered to deliver superior EMI/RFI shielding and environmental sealing in demanding applications. With excellent galvanic compatibility to aluminium, CHO-SEAL 6503 reduces the risk of flange corrosion while providing long-term reliability across harsh operating conditions.

Backed by Parker Chomerics’ advanced filler technology, CHO-SEAL 6503 achieves outstanding shielding performance (> 100 dB) even after rigorous environmental aging, such as salt fog exposure. Its flexible elastomer matrix ensures a reliable environmental seal under compression, resisting moisture, dust, and chemical ingress.

MPN: 40-30-1020-6503

Benefits

  • Excellent Corrosion Resistance
  • Robust Environmental Sealing
  • High EMI Shielding Stability Over Time

Features

Nickel-Aluminum Conductive Filler

  • The conductive particles are Ni/Al, which combine conductivity with corrosion robustness.

Fluorosilicone Elastomer Matrix

  • The binder is fluorosilicone, giving the gasket good chemical resistance and flexibility.

High Shielding Effectiveness

  • The material delivers very high levels of EMI attenuation — for example, shielding levels of ~110 dB at 2 GHz are quoted for certain geometries.

Recommended Uses

  • Aerospace & Defense: Used in extruded or molded gaskets for aircraft electronic bay doors, access panels, or bulkheads where both EMI shielding and environmental sealing are needed.
  • Connector Interfaces: As molded O-rings or cross-section gaskets in RF / high-reliability connectors to maintain electrical continuity and seal.
  • Harsh Industrial Electronics: Protecting enclosures in industrial systems, telecom gear, or life-science equipment that need EMI protection while exposed to chemicals, moisture or wide temperature variation.
