EMI Shielding Die Cut Parts & Conductive Fabric Gaskets
We convert conductive fabric and conductive adhesive films into precision die-cut EMI gaskets, grounding pads and shielding parts. Copper/nickel/silver-plated polyester fabric delivers flexible, low-resistance shielding of 60–90 dB, while filled acrylic films bond the part and maintain electrical continuity at the same time.
Materials we convert
- Conductive fabric over foam — Cu/Ni or silver-plated polyester fabric wrapped around PU foam. Compressible, low closure force, 60–90 dB shielding.
- Conductive adhesive films — silver/copper/nickel-filled acrylic on PET, fabric or foam carriers. Isotropic (3-axis) for gasketing, or anisotropic (Z-axis) for FPC bonding where lateral shorting must be avoided.
- Conductive fabric tapes — single- or double-sided conductive cloth tape for grounding and shielding strips.
- Graphite and copper foil shields — for in-plane heat spreading combined with EMI control.
Typical capabilities
| Shielding effectiveness | 60 – 90 dB (fabric over foam, per ASTM D4935) |
| Surface resistance | < 0.1 Ω/sq typical for filled films |
| Die-cut tolerance | ±0.05 – 0.3 mm |
| Adhesive zones | Configurable adhesive / non-adhesive areas on the same part |
| Presentation | Kiss-cut on liner, tape-and-reel, sheets or individual pieces |
| Volume | Prototype to millions of parts per year |
Applications
- Consumer electronics — phone/tablet enclosures, display frames, camera modules.
- Displays and TVs — bezel gaskets, PCB grounding strips, shield windows.
- Automotive — infotainment modules, ADAS controllers, sensor housings.
- FPC/PCB assembly — Z-axis conductive pads for grounding and component retention.
FAQ
Is isotropic or Z-axis conductive film right for my part?
Use isotropic when you need shielding in all directions; use Z-axis (anisotropic) when the pad sits on a PCB and must not create lateral shorts between adjacent pads.
Can you supply gaskets on a tape-and-reel for SMT?
Yes — kiss-cut on a PET carrier at a fixed pitch, compatible with automated pick-and-place.
What is the minimum order quantity?
We start with prototype quantities (often 50–100 pieces) and scale to volume on the same tooling.
Send us your enclosure drawing and the required shielding level. We will recommend fabric-over-foam vs filled film and cut samples.
