performance for customers where EMI issues occur. The 51K Series EMI gaskets are composed of
electrically conductive fabric wrapped around a soft urethane foam core. They are supplied with
either a conductive or non-conductive pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA), and can be equipped with
an Extended Release Liner (ERL) on the adhesive. The 51K is a UL 94V0 rated product that can
be created with cross-section profiles such as rectangle, D, C, P, T, knife, bell shapes, and others.
The 51K EMI gaskets can be further customized to an application by die-cutting, hole punching,
notching, etc.
