A flame retardant, intumescent pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) composition for EMI shielding gaskets, tapes, wraps, and the like. The composition is formulated as an admixture of: (a) a PSA component; (b) a halogenated first flame retardant component; (c) a metal-based second flame retardant component; and (d) a filler component of expandable, intercalated graphite particles. In a representative embodiment the PSA component (a) is acrylic-based, the halogenated first flame retardant component (b) is a polybrominated diphenyl compound such as decabromodiphenyl oxide or decabromodiphenyl ether, the metal oxide-based second flame retardant component (c) is antimony oxide, antimony trioxide, or antimony pentoxide, and the filler component (d) is graphite flake.

An EMI shielding spacer gasket assembly for interposition under a predetermined compressive load within an electronics enclosure between a first surface and an oppositely-disposed second surface of the enclosure. The assembly includes a frame member and an electrically conductive, elastomeric member extending along at least a portion of the perimeter of the frame member as retained on a corresponding peripheral edge surface thereof. The elastomeric member has an outboard side which is compressible axially under the compressive load for providing an electrically conductive pathway between the surfaces of the enclosure. In an uncompressed orientation, the outboard side of the elastomeric member exhibits elongate upper and lower bearing portions which are disposed at a spaced-apart radial distance from the frame member to define a corresponding bending moment arm. Each of the bearing portions is angularly deflectable relative to the moment arm to effect the compression of the elastomeric member under a relatively low compressive load.

An interior surface of the enclosure is covered with a conformal metallic layer which, as disposed in thermal adjacency with one or more heat-generating electronic components or other sources contained within the enclosure, may provide both thermal dissipation and EMI shielding for the device. The layer may be sprayed onto the interior surface in a molten state and solidified to form a self-adherent coating.

A receptacle assembly includes a guide frame having a front end with an opening to an interior cavity of the guide frame. The front end is configured to receive a module assembly; and an EMI gasket is secured to an edge of the opening. The EMI gasket includes at least one conductive strap extending along a length of the edge, and the conductive strap covers a substantial majority of the edge to form a shielded EMI interface along the edge. A continuous conductive collar is provided on peripheral edges surrounding the opening. The collar is configured to form an uninterrupted and continuous EMI shielding interface with a gasket secured to a bezel. A bail ion the module may be used to cause actuators on the module to move and to press guide frame latches to a release position.

A form in place conductive gasket is disclosed. The gasket, foamed, gelled or unfoamed is made of one or more elastomer resins, such as silicone urethane and/or thermoplastic block copolymers and is either filled with a conductive filler and lined onto a desired substrate or lined onto the substrate unfilled and then coated with a conductive outerlayer, such as a silver filled elastomer or a conductive flocked layer.

A resilient EMI shielding and/or environmental sealing gasket for interposition between a first interface surface and an oppositely-disposed second interface surface. The gasket is formed of an elongate body of indefinite length which extends along a longitudinal axis. The body includes base and apex surfaces, and opposing first and second lateral surfaces which extend intermediate the base and apex surfaces. The base surface itself extends along the length the body as configured for proximally supporting the gasket on the first interface surface. The apex surface, in turn, extends radially from the longitudinal axis for distal contact with the second interface surface, and further extends along the longitudinal axis as defining a first waveform profile characterized as having a first periodic series of alternating first high and low amplitude intervals. The second lateral surface also extends along the longitudinal axis as defining a second waveform profile which is disposed generally transverse to the first waveform profile and which is similarly characterized as having a second periodic series of alternating second high and low amplitude intervals. The gasket so formed is deformable under a predetermined compressive force between the first and second interface surfaces into a stressed orientation characterized in that the body is deflected intermediate the base and apex surfaces.

An EMI shielding and environmental sealing gasket for interposition between a first substrate and an oppositely-disposed second substrate. The gasket is formed of a resilient, tubular body having a generally continuous interior and exterior surface defining a wall thickness of the gasket therebetween, and including base, arcuate, and lateral members. The base member extends intermediate a first and a second edge and has an inner and outer for contact with the second substrate. The arcuate member, which has an inner surface spaced apart radially from the inner surface of the base member and an outer surface for contact with the first substrate, extends intermediate a first proximal end disposed radially inwardly of the first edge of the base member, and a second proximal end disposed radially inwardly of the second edge of the base member. A first lateral member extends from the first edge of the base member to the first proximal end of the arcuate member, with a second lateral member extending from the second edge of the base member to the second proximal end of the arcuate member. Each of the lateral members has an outer surface and an inner surface which defines a acute angle with the inner surface of the base member. The gasket so constructed is deflectable under a predetermined compressive force between the first and second substrates into a collasped orientation characterized in that substantially continuous contact is maintained between the outer surface of the base member and the second substrate.

The invention teaches improved materials and processes for production of structures to shield against ingress or egress of electromagnetic radiation. The structures and processes taught are based on the recognition and use of directly electroplateable resins. The directly electroplateable resins are combined with electrodeposited metal-based coatings to result in uniquely suitable structures to achieve radiation shielding. Fabrication and compositional flexibility of directly electroplateable resins and low cost material possibilities contribute to the unique suitability of directly electroplateable resins in the production of improved electromagnetic radiation shields.

An flame retardant, electrically-conductive EMI shielding material and method, the material being particularly adapted for use in fabric-over-foam EMI shielding gasket constructions. In construction, a generally planar, porous fabric member is provided as having at least an electrically-conductive first side and a second side defining a thickness dimension therebetween. A curable layer of a fluent, flame retardant composition is applied under a predetermined hydrodynamic pressure and viscosity to at least a portion of the second side of the fabric member.

A modular system of plastic walls having embedded and coextensive electrically conductive components configured to electrically connect with each other when the walls are mated. The walls have joining edges that form joint seams with other walls when joined together to create an enclosure. When enough walls are used to surround a storage space, a Faraday cage is created. The walls additionally have portions of tortuous paths at each joining edge that mate with a complementary portion of a tortuous path of another wall when the walls are joined together. A torturous path seal is thereby created at each joint seam. The plastic walls can be configured in a multiplicity of combinations to create various enclosures necessary for RFID-enabled storage and tracking of medical articles. Containers, enclosures, cabinets, and drawers of differing heights and sizes can be made and they may be stacked or otherwise assembled.
