EMI gaskets endure 500,000 test cycles

Nov 21, 2006 11:29 AM

Laird Technologies has verified computer-simulated test results using custom-designed test equipment. This computer simulation verification included physical testing using a custom-designed and fabricated door cycle tester to conduct an actual Recyclable Clean Copper product gasket test and running the test to 500,000 cycles without product failure.

Laird Technologies designed and constructed the 500,000-cycle test using a gasket attached to a rail with the door moving in shear action against the gasket 500,000 times without product failure.

Laird Technologies’ Recyclable Clean Copper products are copper-based shielding gaskets that offer a beryllium-free EMI shielding solution for use in a wide range of slotted applications. Key applications for this product include high-end servers and communications display units. Prices range from $0.15 to more than $4.80 each.
