EMI/RFI Shielding Gaskets for Data Connectors
Fit these gaskets over connectors that plug in to your enclosure to absorb interference and prevent signal problems. They block electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), which cause flickering displays and inaccurate readings.
Silicone gaskets are good for high temperature and wet environments because they seal out moisture. Most are sized to fit specific mil. spec. connector shell sizes.
Interference reduction at frequency, also known as attenuation, describes how much EMI and RFI is blocked. These gaskets block most interference; use them for general purpose shielding as well as protecting sensitive or precision components.

Water- and Weather-Resistant Hollow Foam Rubber Surface-Mount Seals
These EPDM foam rubber seals have hollow construction for more compressibility than solid seals. They resist water, sunlight, and ozone. They’re softer and more flexible than EPDM rubber seals and will effortlessly conform to uneven surfaces to shield against dust, noise, and vibration. The foam has closed-cell construction, which resists absorption.
Seals with a 3M acrylic adhesive backing are more resistant to peeling and shearing than seals with an acrylic adhesive backing. Use them when you need extra sticking strength to resist repeated impact, such as on a door or door frame. They create a permanent moisture barrier and airtight seal between the seal and the surface it’s stuck to, but only if you let the bond cure for 72 hours.

Water- and Weather-Resistant Rubber Surface-Mount Seals
These solid EPDM rubber seals are firmer and more durable than EPDM foam rubber. They resist water, sunlight, and ozone. Attach them directly to a door’s surface to shield against dust, noise, and vibration.

Multipurpose Neoprene Foam Sheets and Strips
In addition to having good resistance to water, sunlight, and oxidation, these neoprene foam sheets and strips resist swelling when they come into contact with oil.
Closed-cell foam restricts water, air, and gases from being absorbed.
