Cybershield has teamed with Laird Technologies as Authorized Form-In-Place Conductive Gasket Dispenser.

 Contact Cybershield to review your requirements or to discuss design options.  We will promptly respond to your phone or email inquiry and provide technical support.

Cybershield has the ability to robotically dispense Form-In-Place Conductive Gaskets onto flat surfaces, into grooves and top of walls with landing area as narrow as 0.025" (0.625 mm).  Conductive form-in-place gaskets offer:

• Low unit cost and initial set-up and programming cost
  
• Exceptional placement accuracy, as tight as +/-0.001" (0.025 mm)
  
• Tightly controlled bead profile tolerance, from +/-0.003" (0.075 mm)
  

Form-in-Place conductive gaskets offer EMI RFI shielding, grounding and environmental seal onto a wide range of substrates. Download form-in-place conductive gasket design guidelines and Laird gasket material specifications.  Gaskets can be dispensed onto:

• Conductive painted or plated plastic part
• Wide range of metals including nickel plated steel or aluminum, anodized aluminum, copper, brass, bronze and nickel alloys

Conductive gaskets provide EMI/RFI shielding, including:

• Protect electronics inside device from ambient interference
• prevent interference within the electronic device from one compartment to another by effectively shielding each compartment from interference fro another compartment
  
• Control radiated emissions
  

Typical applications include wireless handsets, PDA’s, PC cards, telecom base stations, satellite radios, military equipment, medical devices, navigation systems and test equipment.

The dispensed conductive gasket material options offered by Cybershield:

• Soft and highly compressible with low Shore A hardness and compression set characteristics.
  
• Provide excellent EMI RFI shielding where a limited compression force is available or where mating areas have a very low rigidity, such as thin wall plastic injection molding.
• Form-in-place dispensed conductive gasket enables tighter package design.
  
• For small and narrow flanges, gaskets can be applied as narrow as 0.018" (0.46 mm) on minimum landing area of 0.025" (0.6 mm). This allows for more critical packaging space for PCB traces and board component placement for a smaller overall package design.
• Conductive gaskets can be dispense onto aluminum, steel or magnesium, plated plastic parts, and conductive painted plastic.
  
• Conductive gasket equipment has high volume capabilities and excellent process control.
  
• Cybershield has extensive dispensing capacity that can produce a conductive gasket with heights of 0.015"-0.090” (0.38 mm-2.3 mm) on part size up to 2 feet x 2 feet x 6 inches (0.6 m x 0.6 m x 0.15 m).
