A growing number of standard profiles and sizes provide flexibility when selecting a gasket for a specific application. Custom profiles or sizes can also be produced. Each SOFT-SHIELD 5000 Series gasket consists of an electrically conductive fabric jacket over a highly compressible urethane foam core. The nickel-plated, woven nylon rip-stop jacket is selfterminating when cut. Chosen for its excellent compressibility, the foam core typically requires less than 1 lb/in (0.175 N/mm) closure force, making it especially useful for thin-walled plastic enclosures. Standard pressure-sensitive adhesive attachment tape (PSA) makes SOFT-SHIELD 5000 Series gaskets a user-friendly and cost-effective design solution. Every profile in the SOFT-SHIELD 5000 Series can be provided in a General Duty version or a UL 94V-0 rated version, as needed, with no difference in performance. FEATURES • Choice of General Duty or UL 94V-0 rated versions • Typically require <1 lb/in (0.175 N/mm) closure force – 5 times lower than other gaskets • >90 dB attenuation from 20 MHz to 10 GHz • Asymmetrical profiles, as well as “C”, “V”, “P”, “D” shapes • No performance degradation after 10,000 compression cycles • Wide release liner for easy removal • Kiss-cut parts on release sheets for easy “peel-and-stick” grounding applications • Self-terminating jacket – no sharp edges • Tested to Bellcore GR-64-Core Airborne Contaminants requirements • Custom lengths, custom profiles TYPICAL KISS-CUT TOLERANCES: Chomerics, Div. of Parker Hannifin 77 Dragon Court Woburn, MA 01888-4014 TEL: 781-935-4850 FAX: 781-933-4318 SOFT-SHIELD 5000 Series Conductive Jacket over Foam Parker Hannifin Hong Kong Ltd.

BENEFITS • Cost-effective • Alternative to BeCu fingerstock • Pick and place installation • Technical application support • Global distributor/fabricator network • Application-ready custom parts (die-cut, spliced, etc.) With an extensive choice of profiles and sizes, SOFT-SHIELD Gaskets are supplied as strips or kiss-cut parts on film release backers, or individual pre-cut pieces. Pressure-sensitive adhesive is standard. Single-piece picture frame gaskets also can be fabricated from continuous lengths, incorporating integral pre-cut notches for fasteners. (See page 2.) CONFIGURATIONS Gaskets are supplied in standard 8-foot lengths or cut-to-length strips. Depending on the profile, gasketing can also be supplied on spools. For rapid peel-and-stick grounding applications, the material is supplied as kiss-cut parts on polyester film release backers, or as individual pieces. Chomerics also fabricates single-piece, spliced picture frame gaskets from continuous lengths. With their fully jacketed surfaces, these gaskets are ideally suited for low closure force applications that require 360° EMI shielding, or the ease of installing a onepiece gasket (see next page). Chomerics’ Applications Engineering department welcomes the opportunity to provide assistance with design and prototype fabrication of SOFT-SHIELD 5000 Series EMI Gaskets in custom profiles. continued © Chomerics, div. of Parker Hannifin Corp., 2000 Printed in U.S.A. 5M300AG-247 SOFT-SHIELD® 5000 Series Conductive Jacket over Foam EMI Gaskets continued TABLE 1 Typical Properties FIGURE 1 Shielding Effectiveness SOFT-SHIELD 5000 Property Standard Product vs. UL 94V-0 Version 120 Shielding Effectiveness Attenuation (dB) 100 Compression-Deflection 80 Part No. 82-122-74012-09600 (UL 94V-0 rated) 60 Part No. 82-121-74012-09600 40 Test Procedure TP-08 Dynamic Test Range Limitation 20 0 10 100 1000 10000 Frequency (MHz) Compression Set Electrical Conductivity Adhesive Peel Strength Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive Operating Temperature Range ORDERING INFORMATION Test Method SOFT-SHIELD 5000 CHO-TM-TP08 See Figure 1 ASTM C165 (modified) ASTM D3574 (mod.)

A growing number of standard profiles and sizes provide flexibility when selecting a gasket for a specific application. Custom profiles or sizes can also be produced. Each SOFT-SHIELD 5000 Series gasket consists of an electrically conductive fabric jacket over a highly compressible urethane foam core. The nickel-plated, woven nylon rip-stop jacket is selfterminating when cut. Chosen for its excellent compressibility, the foam core typically requires less than 1 lb/in (0.175 N/mm) closure force, making it especially useful for thin-walled plastic enclosures. Standard pressure-sensitive adhesive attachment tape (PSA) makes SOFT-SHIELD 5000 Series gaskets a user-friendly and cost-effective design solution. Every profile in the SOFT-SHIELD 5000 Series can be provided in a General Duty version or a UL 94V-0 rated version, as needed, with no difference in performance. FEATURES • Choice of General Duty or UL 94V-0 rated versions • Typically require <1 lb/in (0.175 N/mm) closure force – 5 times lower than other gaskets • >90 dB attenuation from 20 MHz to 10 GHz • Asymmetrical profiles, as well as “C”, “V”, “P”, “D” shapes • No performance degradation after 10,000 compression cycles • Wide release liner for easy removal • Kiss-cut parts on release sheets for easy “peel-and-stick” grounding applications • Self-terminating jacket – no sharp edges • Tested to Bellcore GR-64-Core Airborne Contaminants requirements • Custom lengths, custom profiles TYPICAL KISS-CUT TOLERANCES: Chomerics, Div. of Parker Hannifin 77 Dragon Court Woburn, MA 01888-4014 TEL: 781-935-4850 FAX: 781-933-4318 SOFT-SHIELD 5000 Series Conductive Jacket over Foam Parker Hannifin Hong Kong Ltd.

BENEFITS • Cost-effective • Alternative to BeCu fingerstock • Pick and place installation • Technical application support • Global distributor/fabricator network • Application-ready custom parts (die-cut, spliced, etc.) With an extensive choice of profiles and sizes, SOFT-SHIELD Gaskets are supplied as strips or kiss-cut parts on film release backers, or individual pre-cut pieces. Pressure-sensitive adhesive is standard. Single-piece picture frame gaskets also can be fabricated from continuous lengths, incorporating integral pre-cut notches for fasteners. (See page 2.) CONFIGURATIONS Gaskets are supplied in standard 8-foot lengths or cut-to-length strips. Depending on the profile, gasketing can also be supplied on spools. For rapid peel-and-stick grounding applications, the material is supplied as kiss-cut parts on polyester film release backers, or as individual pieces. Chomerics also fabricates single-piece, spliced picture frame gaskets from continuous lengths. With their fully jacketed surfaces, these gaskets are ideally suited for low closure force applications that require 360° EMI shielding, or the ease of installing a onepiece gasket (see next page). Chomerics’ Applications Engineering department welcomes the opportunity to provide assistance with design and prototype fabrication of SOFT-SHIELD 5000 Series EMI Gaskets in custom profiles. continued © Chomerics, div. of Parker Hannifin Corp., 2000 Printed in U.S.A. 5M300AG-247
