Introduction
Fabric Shielding Gaskets
EMI Shielding Gaskets for Electronic Enclosures
Shielding gaskets are, very simply, connectors of two opposing
metallic planes which make them appear as one continuous
surface, by connecting across the openings. Depending on the
frequencies involved, the openings must be reduced as closely
as possible to a continuous seal.
Leader Tech’s unique Fabric Shielding Gasket structure is a
combination of a highly conductive nickel/copper ripstop fabric
and a resilient polyurethane foam core. Leader Tech’s FSG
products have superior shielding properties and ensure long
performance life all in a cost effective manner.

Benefits of Fabric Shielding Gaskets (FSG)
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Excellent shielding effectiveness
Extremely low compression force allows for use of lighter
materials and less fastening and hinge hardware
Low Surface Resistivity provides excellent conductivity
Abrasion resistant metalized fabric for durable
performance
Low compression set ensures long term reliability of
gasket performance
Profile and I/O gaskets are available with PSA tapes
which facilitates quick assembly
Designed for use with non-conductive pressure sensitive
adhesive for better adhesion
FSG products can be ordered from 24” or 48” stock, cut
to specific lengths or kiss cut on release liner
Over 100 sizes to choose from in a variety of profiles
Many profiles can be mitered and bonded as a
frame gasket
Prototype samples can be provided within 24 hours
Fabric Shielding
Gaskets assure
tight EMI
electrical contact
sealing of
electronic
enclosures with
high speed
microprocessors.

with pressure sensitive adhesive mounting.
Low profiles with low compression force for applications with small gaps and
larger profiles for applications on cabinets and large enclosures.
Larger profiles are commonly used in groove mounted applications.
Available in standard 24” and 48” lengths or cut to length as desired.
Conductive tape and products without tape can also be supplied.
Contact factory for ordering information.
