TECKSOF Low Closure Force Gaskets are more cost effective than other gasket materials

TECKSOF Low Closure Force Gaskets provide a new design solution for a variety of commercial electronic applications. They supply effective EMI shielding for applications where minimun closure force and unusually wide tolerance gaps exist.

IDEAL FOR COMMERCIAL ENCLOSURES
TECKSOF is designed to be formed around corners in continuous lengths and provide high shielding effectiveness where seam unevenness is a factor. Its low compression set characteristics make it ideal for applications that require repeated actuations, such as doors and access panels.

HIGH SHIELDING PERFORMANCE - LOW DEFLECTION FORCE
Optimum EMI shielding is obtained with a minimum deflection of the original hight. Because TECKSOF readily conforms to minute surface irregularities. it provides up to 80 dB of attenuation at 100 MHz with only 13 lb./ft. closure force.

WIDE RANGE OF CONFIGURATIONS
TECKSOF is constructed of silver-plated nylon thread knitted over pliable urethane foam. It comes in a wide range of sizes and can be supported on continuous rolls or cut to legnth. Adhesive backing is an available option.

Consider TECKSOF when you need cost effective, superior shielding which can be used in continuous legnths.
