EMC springs, or fingerstocks, are used in enclosures, shielded cabinets, and on printed circuit boards as ESD contacts and EMI gaskets. When edge-mounting, it's essential to pay attention to clip size, mounting anchorage, deflection parameters, and finger configuration.
Leader Tech now introduces the Reverse Bend fingerstock gasket, an innovative development of the classic EMC springs. The unique design features a "reverse bend" in the contact fingers, improving performance in specific applications by bending in the opposite direction compared to traditional configurations.
The improved compression range makes the Reverse Bend types suitable for a wide range of gap sizes, with stable contact pressure that withstands mechanical stress. Furthermore, the special shape ensures long-term contact reliability, even with temperature fluctuations or other environmental influences.
Another practical advantage is the reduced installation force: the Reverse Bend places less strain on sensitive components, reduces the risk of damage and simplifies mounting in compact electronic setups.
Typical applications include:
Aviation & Defense
– where vibration resistance and long-term reliability are crucial.
Medical electronics
– sensitive equipment that must function stably and without interference.
With this new design, Leader Tech proves how seemingly small details can contribute to solving complex EMI challenges, with an eye for reliability, durability, and ease of installation.
