Description

Parker Chomerics SOFT-SHIELD® 4850 is a true multi-planar, Z-axis electrically conductive foam for indoor applications. It is based on the unique integration of electrically conductive silver-plated nylon fibers into a low-density urethane foam, providing for a performance-driven, cost effective EMI shielding solution. Through the optimization of conductive fiber construction, loading and dispersion within the foam matrix, SOFT-SHIELD 4850 provides excellent Z-axis electrical conductivity with extremely short ground paths. SOFT-SHIELD 4850 has a UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and is available in configurations such as bulk rolls, cut sheets or custom die cut shapes. A uniform silver-plated copper particle filled, electrically conductive acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) is available on one side for ease of assembly.

A0 = No Adhesive

Benefits

  • 95 dB typical shielding effectiveness from 20 MHz to 10 GHz
  • Excellent through resistance (<60 milliohms at 30% gasket deflection with pressure-sensitive adhesive)
  • Stable electrical performance (through resistance) after multiple closure cycles

Features

  • Z-axis electrical conductivity
  • Low closure force
  • Low compression set <15%
  • Non-nickel bearing material

Recommended Uses

  • Telecom Infrastructure rack and enclosure components
  • Servers and desktop PCs
  • I/O panels, backplanes, connectors, access panels and rectangular/ square strip gasket seals
  • LCD/PDP large screen TVs
  • Indoor electronics applications requiring UL94 V-0 flammability rating
