New EMI/RFI shielding, beryllium copper Alternate Slot Gaskets are well suited for bi-directional applications such as sub-rack assemblies, plug-in units, front panel handles, backplanes, and other shielding and grounding enclosure applications. The slots extend across the contact radius of the symmetrical profile gaskets and alternate from one side to the other. This design is said to enhance the strength of the gasket and help it maintain its flexibility. Requiring only a low closing force, the gaskets mount on a track or extrusion to ensure the security of a mechanical assembly. The 93AS32, 187AS32, and TF187AS32 gaskets are available in a wide range of plating options.
