Sealing and shielding in one

Today's electronic enclosures -- from laptops and PDAs to portable medical devices and consumer electronics -- require cost-effective, high performance EMI shielding.

Made with conductive, particle-filled elastomers, Apple Rubber's O-rings and seals provide high EMI shielding effectiveness in an environmental or pressure seal. The microscopic particles establish a conductive path within the elastomer to create a versatile seal for use in EMI suppression.

Particle fillers include silver, copper, nickel and graphite. Elastomers can be formulated in a range from .001 to .05 resistances in ohms centimeters.

Our EMI-Shielded seals are designed to provide a conductive interface/seal for applications in a variety of industries including:

  • Telecommunications
  • Military
  • Medical
  • Aerospace
  • Automotive
  • Consumer and industrial electronics

Apple Rubber offers seals utilizing commercial grade and military grade shielding elastomers and we can produce EMI-Shielded seals in an unlimited variety of shapes and sizes.
