Connector Gaskets0 pages

Our range of connector gaskets includes precision

die-cut gaskets made from a large selection of

materials, both conductive and non-conductive.

DC Shielding comprises waveguide and connector

gaskets to MIL-C-81511, MIL-C-5015, MIL-C-38999

and MIL-C-26482 plus industry standard

configurations including BN, BNC, D, WG, WR, IEC,

UG, AN and special profiles cut to customers

specifications.

CONNECTOR GASKETS

DC Shielding

Applications:

Generally connector gaskets are cut from thin reinforced materials, such

as Aluweave or Monex, to ensure that the compressive forces exerted on

the connector do not distort the gasket. However, for certain applica-

tions oriented wires in silicone or conductively loaded silicone are

selected for their specific properties.

Most gaskets can be made from all standard materials but it is important

to consider the'land-width'around the periphery of a connector gasket if

Aluweave or Monex are specified. In some instances, where a gasket has

fixing holes on each corner, the holes are extended outwards to slots

helping prevent damage to the gasket during production and fitting.

DC gaskets are fitted in the normal manner and particular care should be

taken when passing a gasket over a threaded connector body. Avoid the

use of conductive adhesives as they tend to adversely affect the sealing

characteristics of most types of gasket.

Specifications And Performance:

The specifications, temperature ranges and shielding performance of

each material type can be found in the relevant material sections.

How to order:

For AN connector gaskets specify the relevant part number from the

table on the opposite page.

For all other waveguide and connector gaskets, state the material type

and drawing number, MIL reference or standard specification as

applicable or contact us to discuss your requirements.

MC-312 = Shell size 12 in 0.5mm Silicone Aluweave

MC-210 = Shell size 10 in 0.75mm Silicone Monex
