Optima EPS Adds Advanced Shielding Options for Enclosures

Posted by EDA Geek News Staff in Industrial on Tuesday, September 19, 2006

Optima EPS, an Elma Company, now has cabinet enclosures that feature advanced shielding options. The company has developed a special gasket used to achieve high attenuation levels on its M, R, and S-series cabinets.

Optima EPS has various levels of EMC shielding on its range of cabinet enclosure series. The S-Series is specifically designed for EMC shielding requirements. Going one step further, Optima EPS now offers advanced shielding options for the highest attenuation levels. The enclosures employ gaskets with a soft foam core and a mesh nickel-plated nylon exterior. The door has a tin-plated copper gasketing tape, which makes contact with the foam gaskets located on the frame. The soft gasketing helps create a tighter seal for both the EMI and cooling considerations. The attenuation level is designed for a minimum 60DB at 500 Mhz. The cabinets also employ spring and sawtooth gaskets around the external seams.
