Conductive elastomer engineering handbook offers complete guide to EMI shielding

28-02-2022 | Parker Chomerics | Subs & Systems

The new edition of Parker Chomerics Conductive Elastomer Engineering Handbook has been revised, making it simpler than ever to choose the correct materials and products for any EMI shielding application.

Comparing various materials and their benefits, the handbook provides a quick reference guide displaying common materials suitable for usage in commercial and defence applications. The guide lists common conductive elastomer materials together with suitable fillers and binders for them.

It also evaluates their level of shielding and corrosion resistance on aluminium and details whether the materials fulfil the requirements of MIL-DTL-83528.

Information on the performance of sheets and extrusions has also been revised, with new test data on compression and deflection behaviour.

Another feature is the improved part number builder for moulded parts, making it easier to build the part number for the design engineer's product.

With an expansive section on conductive elastomer gaskets, advice on choosing materials for corrosion resistance, a detailed section on physical performance and a complete catalogue of the company's products, the handbook offers complete guide to designing Conductive Elastomer applications.
