Choosing an EMI gasket EMI gasket mounting should be considered early on in the design


stage, trying to retrofit a gasket on a flange that wasn’t designed to take one will narrow your gasket options or be unattainable and some re designing may be required. As a general rule the more land area available to fit a gasket will give greater options. Many mounting methods are available some of which are, pressure sensitive adhesives, form in place, clip on, slot mounting, mechanically captured and groove/channel mounting. The application will generally dictate which method is used i.e. door seals, access panel seals etc


To get good contact with the gasket a certain amount of compression needs to be applied, this will vary depending on the gasket type and the application. Ridged flanges with many fixings can compress hard gaskets but care should be taken to ensure bowing of the flange between fixings does not occur.


For cabinet doors requiring several meters of gasket strip a very low


compression force gasket will be required unless the cabinet is of robust construction and the door is hydraulically operated. Conductive fabric over foam lip seals offer the lowest compression force as the gasket deflects. Beryllium copper fingers can also be very easy to compress but can suffer damage through snagging and broken fingers. Sponge or hollow tube type gaskets such as knitted wire over a rubber core offer medium forces and solid silicone rubber seals loaded with conductive particles will be the hardest to compress but of course would offer a good dust and moisture seal.

New dual band antenna from Antenova


Antenova has announced Mutica, a new, ultra-compact, dual band antenna for the Wi-Fi 802.11n and ac 2.4-2.5 GHz and 4.9-5.9 GHz bands. Mutica fits into a reduced ground plane on the host PCB, making it ideal for the smaller Wi-Fi products and wireless accessories being created today. It is an SMD- mounted antenna for all dual-band Wi-Fi applications, especially those requiring high


The Mutica evaluation board comes with two antennas ready-mounted for testing


speed data transfer and multiple-in / multiple-out (MIMO) applications, such as security cameras, video cameras, set-top boxes, and devices for connected vehicles.


The antenna is designed so that the RF elements can easily be integrated into a product design, and Antenova provides support and advice for the RF integration, including the CAD files for the antenna which are free of charge.


For more details or an evaluation board, please see www.antenova-m2m.com or telephone +44 (0) 1223 810 600.
