EMI Gaskets
December 31, 1969 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
GORE-SHIELD SMT gaskets can be installed with standard pick-and-place equipment. The gaskets are said to decrease the total cost of EMI shielding in cell phones and other wireless infrastructure. Rather than a continuous bead, the gaskets are a series of small GS 5200 pads that have a solderable shim attached and are packaged in EIA-standard tape-and-reel format. Using high-speed chipshooting SMT equipment, these pads are placed on the ground trace of the PCB, at typical rates of nine per second, to form a complete shielding gasket. The gasket assembly is completed when the solder is reflowed using conventional solder paste and reflow conditions.
