Enduro-Shield
This gasket uses our high shielding tin plated beryllium copper Spira-Shield as its base. We inject a liquid silicone adhesive into the center of the spiral, which hardens and bonds completely to the metal, making this gasket extremely durable when properly used.
Because of its durability, Enduro-Shield is ideal for groove-mounted sliding applications, such as in connectors. This gasket material is used in our Enduro-Shield O-rings.
MATERIALS
Spiral: Tin/lead plated beryllium copper. (See Options for RoHS compliance). Electroplated, 90% tin, 10% lead (edges unplated).
Cord: Cured silicone adhesive.
SHIELDING QUALITY
This gasket offers shielding quality from 117 dB to 152 dB. The shielding quality may vary depending on your specific application.
COMPRESSION FORCE
Enduro-Shield gaskets come in three different resiliencies (as shown below). Optimal compression of the gasket is 25% of the diameter of the spiral. Since the force to compress the gasket is a function of the cube of the thickness of the beryllium copper ribbon, the compression forces shown are approximate. Some sizes are also available in low force.Standard Force: ~30 pounds per linear inch compression.Moderate Force: ~10 pounds per linear inch compression.Low Force: ~1.5 pounds per linear inch compression.
MOUNTING
This gasket is groove mounted.
