GORE-SHIELD® GS500 EMI Gaskets
GORE-SHIELD® GS500 EMI Gaskets are a conductive, adhesive backed, EMI gasketing material that is moderately soft and is ideally suited for wireless infrastructure and telecommunications applications. They can be supplied in die-cut part forms or in slit width rolls. Slit width material is ideal for manual “peel and stick” EMI gasketing applications.

Design Considerations
When optimizing a gasket shielding solution, consider the housing design as well as the EMI gasket performance.
Important considerations in the housing design include flatness, surface roughness, material type, rigidity, contact area, tolerance take-up, conductivity, fastener type, and fastener locations.
Key factors in an EMI gasket include softness, tolerance take-up, conductivity (DC resistance), and shielding effectiveness both before and after Accelerated Life Testing (ALT).
