Silicone Nickel Graphite
The Conductive Silicone Range was originally developed for high performance shielding mainly for military applications. However, the introduction of lower cost fillers has now made them accessible to the commercial sector. They are used where environmental and EMI screening is required but space constraints or stringent environmental protection necessitates a small cross section profile, often fitted into a groove or channel.
Conductively loaded silicone is best used where mating surfaces are smooth and well machined. They should be mounted to provide adequate volume for the material to deflect under pressure and should be compressed by between 8 and 20% of their relaxed height for solid sections and between 20 and 100% of the height of the hollow centre for tubular sections. Moulded ‘O’ rings, gasket proles and sheet materials all have their own compression characteristics according to how they are mounted and do not comply with the guidelines above.
