Electronics Manufacturing Industry FAQs

What rubber materials offer the best EMI/RFI shielding performance?

For electromagnetic interference shielding, we offer specialized conductive elastomers including silicone and fluorosilicone compounds loaded with conductive fillers such as silver, nickel-graphite, silver-aluminum, and carbon. The optimal material depends on your specific shielding requirements, frequency range, and environmental exposure conditions. Our engineering team can recommend the appropriate compound and design based on your attenuation requirements and application constraints.

Can you provide gaskets with precise dimensional tolerances for miniaturized electronics?

Yes, our precision die cutting and waterjet cutting capabilities allow us to produce gaskets and seals with tolerances as tight as ±0.005" for critical electronic applications. For ultra-precise requirements, we employ vision systems and automated inspection to ensure dimensional accuracy critical for high-density electronic assemblies. We can work from your CAD drawings to create exact components that integrate seamlessly with automated assembly processes.

Do you offer materials suitable for high-temperature electronic applications?

Yes, we provide specialized high-temperature compounds, particularly silicone formulations rated for continuous service at temperatures up to 500°F (260°C). These materials maintain their physical properties and sealing capabilities even in the elevated temperatures encountered in power electronics, LED lighting systems, and high-performance computing applications. For extreme temperature applications, we can recommend specialized compounds with appropriate fillers and cure systems.
