Environmental Sealing Solutions for EMC and RF Shielding

In many electronics, telecommunications, defense, and industrial applications, EMC shielding alone is not sufficient. Equipment must also withstand moisture, dust, chemicals, UV exposure, temperature fluctuations, and mechanical stress.

Environmental sealing solutions provide effective protection against harsh operating conditions and can be combined with EMC and RF shielding requirements in a single gasket solution.

Amitronic offers a comprehensive range of environmental gaskets, IP-rated sealing solutions, and combined EMC/environmental sealing products for demanding applications.

Benefits

  • EMC and RF shielding combined with environmental sealing
  • Protection against moisture, dust, and contaminants
  • Suitable for achieving IP-rated enclosure designs
  • Long service life in demanding environments
  • Available as standard and custom-engineered solutions
