Construction
GORE-SHIELD® GS8000 Conductive Foam consists of a nickel-plated, conductive polyurethane foam, a conductive pressure sensitive adhesive, a copper foil, another conductive pressure sensitive adhesive, and a PET carrier film.
GS8000 Closure Force/Shielding Effective Versus % Compression
Once the working height of the compressed pad is established, refer to Chart 1 to determine which thickness of GORESHIELD® GS8000 Conductive Foam is most suitable. Ideally, designers should strive for 50-75% compression to final stop to ensure consistent RF grounding across the face and through the grounding pad.
